You are lucky. Because you're old, and you don't have a penny. But think for a moment about our poor @Nordistico, who escaped from Italy with those two ocher yellow Fiat 500s, packed full of millions of lire in cash, the result of that fraudulent bankruptcy? Millions of lire that he moved in a poor country, where every million lire, at the local exchange rate, multiples ten times? And then, recently, there was the invention of this little blue pill and, if before many industrialists and financiers, once they were in their sixties, came to terms with it and resigned themselves to the inevitable peace of mind, now, thanks to pharmacies , hundreds of thousands of dirty old men have returned to the $lut market. And then, our @Nordistico is just a very, very small and peripheral fish.
In fact, I remember that, at an international meeting, our inimitable Prime Minister and Cavalier of Labor Silvio Berlusconi had a conversation with the French President Chirac, who told him: - Silvio, have you heard that a pill has just come out, called Cialis, which is not blue, but yellow, and which allows you to make love with five women in the same night? -And our incomparable prime minister, he replied:-Ah... I understand, it's a sedative...! -

But that's not what I want to talk to you about. Which are obvious, and which you all know. I want to go to that part of the school curriculum, of the book that talks about the exploits of the Carpenter's Son, which is more difficult. That part which, upon closer inspection, in two thousand years, almost no one has put into practice. If not the very first Christians, then those who converted in the years of the emperor Diocletian, and who were massacred by the Roman soldiers. Those who made a historian of the time say: "The blood of Christians is a fertilizer, which makes many others appear". Translated: the more we kill, the more our cities fill with them. Which goes hand in hand with what I wrote in the last sentence, just above: when your time comes, your life will be a price, which you will give as a ransom, to have the salvation (and conversion) of many. This concept, and this mechanism, can only be understood by listening to these words (1).
1) From my Sacred Reference Text:
______________________________________________________
Among those who had come up to worship during the festival, there were also some Greeks. [21]These approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we want to see Jesus." [22]Philip went to tell Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip went to tell Jesus. [23]Jesus answered, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. [24]Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies , it remains alone ; but if it dies , it produces much fruit . [25] Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life loses it in this world will keep it for eternal life. [26] If anyone wants to serve me, let him follow me, and where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. [27] Now my soul is troubled; and what should I say? Father, save me from this hour? But this is why I have come to this hour! [28] Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven: "I have glorified him and I will glorify him again!". [29]
The crowd that was present and heard said that he was thunder. Others said: "An angel spoke to him." [30]Jesus answered, “This voice did not come for me, but for you. [31] Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out. [ 32] When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself." [33] This he said to indicate the kind of death he was to die. [34]Then the crowd answered him: «We have learned from the Law that Christ remains forever; how then do you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? [35]Jesus then said to them, “The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness does not overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. [36] While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of the light."
Jesus said these things, then went away and hid from them.

Here, dear @WalterA: the time has come to put this teaching into practice. And then, if you are able to do the math, you will realize that your life will now have the same duration, and the same expiry date, as a yogurt: it should be easy for you to make such a choice. It is, from every point of view, also the most rational. Or, if you want, remember the words of the great Confucius:

"Even a rabbit, once trapped, is ready to fight"
