Thanks Alexandria for your comment.
Unfortunately, for those prone to self reflection, we are acutely aware of the five remembrances of Buddhism.

There is no way to escape having ill-health.I am of the nature to die.

I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
My actions are the ground on which I stand.
