６９episode View of life and death（２） SK8-60 (Japanese）

 Should I start facing death head on now?  I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I believe that when I turned 60 and fell into a negative spiral towards death due to old age and aging, that was the time when I truly faced death. So maybe I don't need to constantly face death. I think that when my death comes to mind, it is best to live life to the fullest, struggling and suffering...but I also cannot give up on looking at the view of life and death from my calm position.

When I feel like death is looming over me due to mental imbalance or illness caused by aging, I try to live my life to the fullest, as described above. For now, I feel like I'm enjoying life to the fullest because I'm so active that I completely forget about death. There will always come a time when I can no longer resist, so it would be best for me to be able to accept death with a philosophical sense of satisfaction (As,I was able to enjoy life to the fullest by doing skateboard tricks even in my 60s), but I still feel like I am struggling and suffering.

I think I will probably change my mind many times until I die. I guess that's fine. I think that feeling to worry may be my view of life and death. I lived to the fullest. I enjoy life to the fullest with skateboarding tricks until I can't do any more from now on too. Now, my view of life and death is to be prepared for sudden death., as I don't know what the future holds, and just as there is the possibility of a serious injury or illness making it impossible to perform skateboard tricks, there is also the possibility of sudden death. As long as I can keep doing skateboarding tricks (anti-aging), I might occasionally reconsider my views on life and death.
