In the real world, the physical human body only lasts an average of 80 years*. This means our bodies grow until we reach 40 and gradually die as we approach 80 yrs old.
This trend can be shown by using a bell curve diagram as shown below. From the diagram, the birth, pinnacle, and death of the physical body can be illustrated. At the left side of the bell is the ascending curve, the birth. On the right side is the descending curve, the death. In between the two curves is the highest point called the peak. The peak is the pinnacle that signals the body to stop growing and commence the dying process.
Statistically, as shown in the curve, the first part of human life starts from 1 to 40 years Then, it stabilizes from 40 to 60 years. And finally, it declines from 60 to 80 years. Life has three stages. The first stage (1-40) is the birth of life, the prime of our life. The second stage (40-60) is the high ground of life, the plateau of our life. And the final stage (60-80) is the death of the body, the retirement of our life.
In comparison, a 3 ladder system is another good example that showcases the 3 stages of life. The first stage is called information acquisition or gathering. This is represented by a vertical ladder. This ladder is the time we open our eyes and say hello to the world. This is the stage we spend our lives without problems. The time when we just eat, play, and sleep. As we climb the ladder step by step upward, we begin to learn things from our parents, schools, and friends. And as we reach the top of the ladder, all the tools we need to live and survive are all now provided. The second stage is called information utilization. This is represented by a horizontal ladder. This is the flat ladder where we start a family, have children, pursue our careers, dream houses, and cars, travel around the world, and enjoy all the luxuries of life. The third stage is information declination. This is represented by the second vertical ladder. This is the ladder where we begin to climb down. This is the stage where our body begins to slow down. The last instruction of the genetic program. The time when we close our eyes and say goodbye.

Death has its own purpose. It is inevitable. Everyone and everything will die. It is just a matter of time so to speak. Mayflies die within 24 hours. Butterflies live only for weeks. Some, like dragonflies, live only for months. Why? It is a natural law, genetic instruction. Everyone shares their own death in different ways. It might look morbid but it is not. It is just only how we perceived death that it seems unpleasant.
What is unpleasant is the disease. The body, when it's time to go, makes its own way to bring its own body down. One day it is healthy, the next day, when it is ready to go, the body finds its way to being ill. The illness takes over, controls walking, seeing, and breathing, and even destroys its own organs like the heart and kidneys. Once all these things are gradually happening, the body is on its stage of dying. We humans don't have control over them. Medicines are just extenders to prolong life. When the body wants to turn off its own system. it can turn off itself. It is wired on its gene. It is capable to execute its final code - its final instruction - Death.
* According to cdc.org, about 75 million American adults have high blood pressure — that's 1 of every 3 adults. This means that 1/3 of its population is suffering from high blood pressure. This group ranges from 40 to 80 yrs old. The other 1/3 is suffering from other diseases like diabetes, cancers, heart, and brain episodes. This group ranges from 40 to 80 yrs old as well. The remaining 1/3 is the healthy group. They range from 1 to 40 yrs old. They are our kids, our sons and daughters growing up along the ascending side of the curve. However, on the descending side, the group from 40 to 80 yrs old is on its way to dying. And when the pharmaceutical companies shut down, the people on the descending side will die sooner than expected.
