You're 24 and you think like this? If you don't sort out your thinking, you are headed for a miserable existence. Read the stoics, help people, visit a senior centre, get out of your head. You are a pup so your flawed thinking is forgivable and even expected. That youth is wasted on the young used to seem trite to me but when I read stuff like this I nod at that saying in sad agreement.

Edit: I will add that I'm 46, at what is statistically the nadir of contentment. I think about my aging every day and have to reconcile it with gratitude...this is how all things are reconciled.
