I subscribe to the philosophy that we are not our bodies. I have believed, for longer than I can remember, that our bodies are like automobiles that a being/soul drives. Some have exclusive luxury models while others have clunkers that can barely get them from A to B. I'm not sure we get the automobiles/machines that we do, and if the currency for the down payment is indeed karma from a previous life. All I can say is, you only get one machine, you should make the best of it until it breaks down traversing the roads of destiny and for the most, life is one helluva ride.
