About This Quote
Most people would instantly start feeling ten years older if someone were to convince them that they were actually born a decade before their birthdate. There are many things that make us feel younger, like getting up early or staying out late partying. But if you look at your birthdate and realize that you were born ten years earlier than you thought, it is absolutely no surprise that you would feel older than you actually are. This happens because you start to think about the past by using the numbers “10” for each year.
You think of the number of years before your birth with each year following it. So, with one year, you think of the year before your birth, two years after with two years after, and so on with each number. The result is that with each number, you will think of the decade before the decade after your birth with each decade having more years than the previous one.
This is why most people will feel ten years older than they actually are when someone tells them their birthday date.
