This man is very special. But you get hated if many many people including yourself live long like him. This country resents longevity or at least the media stress how heavy it is to have so many old people. Young new people are secured to have a life and get everything. So much disparity.

When you live through not ONE but TWO world wars.

[MrJOKELA]

I don’t want to live until that age....

[Pinkielover]

secret to a long life is not to get sick

[MK-hhvo]

I missed the part where he said smiling is his secret, but ok I'll try it.

[fatoumatabalajo]
