Summary:
This news, written by David Boroff and published last Tuesday two of May,
is about a 146-year-old Indonesian man, called Mbah
Ghoto and also known as Sodimedjo, who wanted
to die and finally died last Sunday.
This man
died in his house surrounded by his relatives. Papers belonging to the man
indicate that he was born in 1870, although not documented in any paper because
Indonesia didn't begin documenting births until 1900. As his age has not been
verified, the Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment is recognized as the woman who has
lived most years, mourned at 122 years.
Mbah Ghoto
was hospitalized last month but he recovered and returned home, although since
then he only ate tablespoons of oats and drank very little. In his last days,
he did not eat or drink hardly, the man wanted to die. The man affirms that the
key to living so many years is to have a family that loves you and cares for
you, like his family.
In an
interview last year, the man states that what helps him to predict his age is
the memory of the construction of a factory in 1880, when he was helping his
family to cultivate the land.
MY OPINION:
First of
all, I want to explain why I chose this news. I caught the attention the title
of the news because, despite how old man was, he claimed to want to die. Once I read the news, it made me reflect
the fact that the man wanted to die.
We have to enjoy life to the fullest, in
this way, if life gives us many years of life, as this man has, we have to be
happy and continue to enjoy, above all, as well said this man, the family but
also of everything in general.
Definitely, if life gave me all those years
to live, I would be very grateful and I will live them to the maximum, in
everything I could.
