About This Quote
In the old days, when people got married they took their entire lives on a single plate. But, today we have a different view. A new view. A modern view.
The new view is that you don’t have a life until someone else has a life with you— so you might as well try to do something constructive with your time before it’s too late. And it’s not too late no matter what age you are. If there were some kind of magic age at which all of us would just be seniors then the world would be a much happier place.
Still, there is some truth to the idea that as we get older we need to take better care of ourselves and spend fewer years doing things for others that might harm or even kill us.
