Decay

Francis Bacon - Chimpanzee 1955

Had this thought today while riding my bike home from the dentist after getting a crown and my jaw smarting:

you're more physically functioning now than you'll ever be.  Teeth, eyes, joints, brain: they'll all falter and fail.  You'd better make use of your body while it's still functioning pretty well.

Additional thought: you'd better start doing stuff regularly to slow down the decay
