Aging is inevitable. It is so important because, associated with aging is death.
             The death it is associated with however is a bodily death. In my opinion, there are many
             types of demise one has to deal with before they are actually dead. There is the death of

             your limelight is gone there is nothing more to live for. It also states "and the name died
