    “You can’t just stand around like an idiot. You have to have a reason to keep alive.”
    Wise words! Keep up the good work, Benny. You are the man!

    My great-grandma lived to 95. Her sister, my great-great-aunt, lived to be 97. And her other sister is still alive at 97, volunteering to help kids read at a local school. She was even given the Outstanding Citizen award by her local township a few months ago. I hope that I got some of the longevity genes from them, and that I'll still be around at 97 and living life to the fullest like Benny. (Although I think the longevity might only be passed down to the women in my family, but I can still hope).

    Tricky messaging in this one...Working should be a choice, not a requirement to have full human dignity. Hopefully no one forgets golden years is a goal not all reach. Millennials prob. won't be allowed retirement without inheritance. If you have the option to appreciate life with loved ones or service acts on your terms without pressure, that's a true reward and balance. Bring required to work until you drop is not the purpose of human existence. Hope that message isn't misinterpreted.

      It makes sense what your saying but in Benny's case he does not need to work. He works to keep his mind active and to socialize with others. He gets so excited for work.
