Question

Would you consider getting older a bad thing because your youth is over , or a good thing because you are more wise even though you are closer to death? I got introduced to that new perspective today and part of me agrees with it EXCEPT it was said by people in their mid 20s. So how can that outlook be substantial and important to them when they haven’t experienced actually getting old yet? Thoughts from people in their 40s and older would be appreciated.

It depends on one’s circumstances. It took me many years to get out of a bad relationship that made my younger years miserable. I’m having better years now. If I had made better choices when I was young, I might have felt differently.

Well I turned 40 and I think the two factors cancel each other. But last week I "faced my own mortality" which was a bit of a wake up.

Catch 22. Yes older is typically better for maturity and wisdom, but the older you get the more life can disappoint. The more you feel what life is. Im 26 i know u wanted older people. But listen i have chronic pains in my knee from heavy lifting.

Not that old yet. But aging doesn't scare or bother me. I'll check out when I can't live how I want.

youth isn't the only part of one's life. defining how great your life is based on your youthfulness is a flaw. people are capable of achieving extraordinary things at any age

loveslongnails · Answer

Getting older seems to embrace what I've heard before: "Youth is wasted on the young". I wish I knew then what I know now.
