According to WHO, SG women's life expectancy at birth is 86years. SG men's life expectancy is 80yrs

This is quite a significant difference. Has NS got anything to do with this difference?

exaggerating figures. almost everyone knows someone who is stricken with cancer of some sort.

It would be great if we could live in good health till 80 and die peacefully in the sleep, but it rarely happens this way. Usually there is some suffering and pain along the way in the later stages. People who think that living to a very old age is an achievement and something to be targeted, are idiots.

Life expectancy till 80...wow modern technology really extends the suffering

as they say, pain (with death and taxes) is inevitable - whereas suffering (depending on threshold and deep pockets) is optional. pap = pain and payment :confused:

Sometimes, the suffering is not optional either. Life is hard and then you die.

Most mums are a blessing to their children...
I dare say most parents around the world (i.e. both mothers and fathers) are a bane to their children! :mad: :(


...and wish nothing less than what's best for their children
Yes, such "sweet talk" and other boasts (about how "good" they have been to their children) are usually said by vain parents (especially mothers) to save their sinful "faces". :wink:
Furthermore, most of the time, their boasts are either exaggerations at best or outright lies at worst! :rolleyes:
