Ailments of Old Age
Hong Zicheng said, "The ailments of old age are really those incurred in youthful times. Weakness in one's last years is really something wrought in the prime of life. Therefore, when life is at its peak, the noble person endeavors exactingly to take full care in every way." The problem with this truism is that usually by the time it rings true, it's too late.
