Toby,
With modern multi-media you can include the violins in the background,
too. However, I think that if you consult a few old people you will
find that they are perfectly happy to keep on living even if it means
another day of begging to rustle up the cash for the next pack of
tobacco and bottle of wine. Or maybe another day at the club, trying
to knock the little dimpled ball into the hole.
Your values are sweet and nice -- but this does not give you the right
to go around condeming other people's lives as worthless.
