69 isn't too old to stop, Jon

1. 69 isn't too old to stop doing things that *revolt* you.
2. 69 isn't too old to stop *feeling* revolted at what you do.
3. 69 isn't too old to stop having to *ready* yourself before #1 and #2.

 "Every now and then, when I think about what's involved 
  in eating meat, the thought *revolts* me.  The *feeling* never
  lasts, and at my next meal I'm always *ready* to tuck into
  a chunk of meat."

I've been reading Dostoevsky for a couple of years now, and I believe he
would say to you,

"A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies becomes unable to
recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing
respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he
can no longer love, and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him,
he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and
behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying - lying to
others and to yourself."

Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov pg. 44

Happy birthday, old man.
