Ageing is a privilege not all get...
Totally agree.

However, midlife crisis (~50) already sounds horrifying: The prime time of life is over, life quality will always be degrading from now on, intoxicated by presbyopia and degrading body performance.
Death is nothing but a side effect of aging.

A stinking lump of turd, yet better than not living at all.

Whoops, I forgot to mention it was not meant as personal offence.
This is not ageism, but about aging itself.

EVERYONE'S OLD THE DAY BEFORE THEY DIE. If you're 60, then to a 95yo your young, but to a twenty year old your old. The only time that's real is now. Who's better off. An 18yo whose bored shitless, or an 80yo who's full of life.
The 18 year old.
He has a higher potential.

I think gaining experience is the other name of aging. You learn a lot of things with the passage of time. Life is a gift which is needed to be keep as safe as possible. I wish you have a long and prosper life! Stay blessed!

Correct.

But I mean biological aging.
We could learn even more experience if our brain stayed healthy at age 100.
Alzheimer eats up the gained experiences and formats our internal hard drive.

Aging is the process by which physical energy declines towards zero, while life experience, perspective, wisdom, and grace have their opportunity to increase to their maximum within a lifetime. How each of us uses this opportunity or squanders it is up to us, and worthy of increasing reflection as one gets older. Each decade offers the potential for profound re-evaluation of life in ever more meaningful ways, or for getting increasingly set in one's ways in ever more meaningless bitterness, regret, and nostalgia that takes away from the chances to fully live in the present.

Why are those with the most time in the biggest rush?


And why can’t my kids see what’s right in front of their noses? (It’s a genuine question! Has their brain not developed so they can find their own shoes?)

Some of these posts seem to have been heavily edited. I had responded to something and it is now gone.
