I had an ant who recently passed away at age 94. She had weight problems much of her life and was on diets much of her life and I even believe she smoked for awhile (way back when about everyone did). Overall she had a pretty good life with few ailments (no cancer or heart disease). And cancer does run on that side of the family though no heart disease. So go figure.
Sometimes I wonder if these seemingly "early" meditator deaths are people gettin' while the gettin's good? Who knows what ominous future lies ahead?
