If you're lucky you get old.

I know that sounds funny, particularly to young people, but as is said, the alternative to getting old isn't very desirable.

Some people take care of themselves and it pays off with good health and looks, while some who do still don't age very well. Many people neglect, and even abuse themselves, and still look good, although most of them do look worse for wear.

Denzel Washington, shown above, looks great, especially at age 53, and it may be because he's led a clean life.
