Aging

This world is swept away by aging, by illness, by death.
For one swept on by aging, no shelters exist.

Keeping sight of this danger in death,
do meritorious deeds that bring bliss.

Make merit while alive.

When the world is on fire with aging and death, one should salvage [future wealth] by giving.

- Buddha

Tomorrow is just like any other day, only there is always a certain uncertainty to it still.
