A theory which is mine, belongs to me, and is mine too. [View all]

No, this is just a theory and a surmise, it does not pretend to be the truth or even close to it, but I was doing some thinking, and this is what popped into my head.

Some background: many years ago my cardiologist said something really interesting to me, he said That all these blood pressure medications, cholesterol medications, diet, and exercise, all the stuff was great and absolutely worth doing and in many or most cases will lengthen an individual‘s life and improve the quality. However, and this is a big however, he said that when you have your first heart attack or stroke, you are considered basically a terminal patient and the question is for how long can they keep you alive? Three months, 30 years, they just don’t know. But one thing they do know is that you entered a different sphere and there are a whole different set of considerations at that level.

I think that a diagnosis was made and conveyed to Orangina. On the one hand, he who has exhibited denial his entire life, will consciously attempt to override any dire news, but the visceral, and I hate to use the term, intellectual side of him, and I apologize for that, let me change it to cognitive side or conscious side or whatever makes you happy, knows that it is just a matter of time. The question is: how long?

I believe that he blurts this “heaven“ stuff out because it is not too distant from his consciousness, that his time is by definition limited. Of course, that is true of all of us, particularly those of us in our 70s and older, including the writer here. But it would be particularly difficult for an individual whose so-called doctor said that he could live to 200 and that he was in the best shape of any president in history of the United States to cope with this cognitive dissonance.

And one more thing: there are many diseases which occur as a result of gluttony, and we tend to only mention heart disease because it is the most familiar, but people would be surprised at the multitude of pathologies which may present themselves when an individual spends a lifetime consuming nutritionally horrendous foods.

As I said, just a theory and a sidebar consideration, presented for your cogent analyses
