Mirror Synchronicity: Immortality

Perhaps it was because I sat bedside this week with a dying patient who was 98 years old. It seemed that the concept of living to 100 and immortality kept throwing itself in front of me.

Firstly there was this article about an upcoming book about immortality:

Then, without looking for it, suddenly this WSJ article about living to 100 and beyond pops up in my newsfeed:

Then yesterday I was at the movies and the trailer before Cowboys and Aliens was for a movie called In Time where the rich can buy more time. http://www.intimemovie.com/

I am hoping these are all just mirror synchronicities and not directional synchronicities telling me that I need to be saving more for retirement!
