One of the great tragedies of the human condition is that we don’t age backwards, Benjamin Button style. If only I’d known then what I know now, life could have been so perfect.

We kind of age like the snap of an elastic band. There's probably more steps than I will summarise in the next paragraph(s)
We need intense care. We get sassy. We get independent. We get hurt. We stabilise.
We de-stabalise.
We get hurt (or ill, or mutate - that's all ageing is, mutation!) - We lose independence. We get sassy. We need intense care.
We age in a circle.
And, we percieve time more quickly as we age, as our "temporal refresh rate" slows.
Yes indeed, The Seven Stages of Man. I'm not overjoyed to learn of the slowing of the temporal refresh rate, but I'm certain I can buck the trend:)
When it begins fast, it ends fast too. Just think faster and you'll be fine, that's what I try to do! :)
Ah, but the poetry in the struggle - perhaps there's something sublime in that. Sometimes the tough stuff makes life all the sweeter now.
