Answer

The body regenerates. We are actually getting younger for the most part of our lives. Our generation will gain a full decade of life compared to our immediate ancestors. Our sons and daughters will grow to be in a more unstable and chaotic world than ours. But they will be fitter and far brighter (not hoping, certain of) than us. Is it too far out to imagine a tomorrow where science and technology grow at the speed they have? Perhaps a quantum leap in science. The future Darwin, Galileo, Leonardo, Einstein… the thing nowadays is, there are just so many extraordinary people in all walks of life, that history lost track. Maybe we live in some sort of dark age, and we don’t realize it fully, just like people in medieval times did not know themselves as living any worse than any civilization before. Things were bad back then. Very, very bad.
To our standards, perhaps. Even though we still find plenty of places in the modern world living in the dark. Just as there are people having it bad, we now have a whole like of people doing good. Not necessarily in a financial sense, maybe their spiritual lives, their personal goals, their missions, are accomplished. A little triumph here, a medal there (flirt your ass off, tease, at ease… Meditate daily, exercise three to four times a week; keep an active lifestyle), it will really make your day a pleasant life to have lived. It’s immoral to feel bad for having loved. The little details is what I wake up for each morning. Brew my own coffee, always have a good book nearby, fitness magazines, Scientific American,
For the first time, the less crazy people run this world. We are sleeping warriors. Carry a mission, bring it to conclusion, dedicate time and effort to your passion, provide and live a quiet life. Or the social kind. Whatever your nature calls for, answer it.
