Run That String.
You don't really want to get old. But dying young is not very appealing either. That famous phrase: "Live Fast, Die Young, Leave a Good-Looking Corpse" might work in Celebrity Culture, but what about all that missed living? And you think maybe there is something to be said for "making old bones?" So you lean on the idea of being a Survivor - "a person who continues to live..." But you can only run that string out for so long.
