Who knows why?
Of course at this point I let my imagination take over, conquering rational thought. I pictured an expedition to a distant planet much like ours. They landed and found no occupants. After months of searching one of the team found a document explaining the demise of the civilization. “We were a race of perfection. No mistakes were ever made. Eventually, we die of boredom.

Thanks for the reply. As far as age is concerned I read the obituaries.(Talk about age) and when I see someone who died younger than myself, sometimes much younger, I think of the opportunities and dream missed and the love never realized.
