As a young person, I am shocked and horrified by the idea of being 70.

Yet I suspect that when I am 70, I will want to live one more day.

Personally, I will relish the day when I can pass off being a curmudgeon and telling people to sit-and-spin as dementia.

And if, by the grace of medical advance, I cannot, I don't see why I'd have much problem with the loss of my excuse.

I suspect that when I am 70, I will feel like I've lived a complete life, and it's now more important for other people to be happier than for me to survive longer.
