EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS CAN MAKE ONE THINK LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING. I AM TOLD THAT A 44% REDUCTION IN DEATH CAN BE ACHIEVED BY LIFE STYLE IMPROVEMENTS. HOWEVER, RISK FACTORS SUCH AS WEIGHT GAIN AND DIABETES OFFSET LIFE STYLE IMPROVEMENTS. LIFESTYLE IMPROVEMENTS, THAT IS HEALTHFUL DIETS AND EXERCISING SIMULTANEOUSLY REDUCE DEATHS AND CANCEL THEMSELVES WITH WEIGHT GAIN AND DIABETES ( INCURRED FROM WEIGHT GAIN AND NOT EATING RIGHT). HOW CAN EATING RIGHT AND IMPROVING LIFESTYLE CANCEL OUT LIFESTYLE IMPROVEMENT BY WEIGHT GAIN? I’M LOST.

THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION - FLIGHT INTO THE IMAGINATIVE WORLD OF POETRY.

IN THE RUBAIYAT BY OMAR KHAYYAM THE SPLENDID THOUGHT OCCURS, "A JUG OF WINE, A LOAF OF BREAD - AND THOU."

IN THE DIVAN OF KAFIZ, ALSO AN ARABIC POEM, WE ENCOUNTER THE LINE, "UPON THE CHECQUERED FLOOR OF NIGHT AND DAY, DEATH WON THE GAME."

DOOFUSES WHO DO STATISTICAL ANALYSIS TAKE NOTE. EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY BECAUSE TOMORROW YOU TOO WILL DIE.
