There is no more rational reason for pessimism than the simple fact of aging. One year you're motoring along fine and then suddenly you have trouble reading the fine print. And your teeth hurt, cause those fillings from long ago are getting to be of a certain age. And it takes two or sometimes three days to get over a vigorous workout. And you're not as fast as you used to be. And you get weird pains that appear and then leave.
Aging sucks, and you know what else? It's just leading up to death. Isn't that just fucking swell?
I shouldn't complain. I still have my hair. I'm am full of vim and vigor. But I know it's not going to last forever.
I don't want to die; then again, I don't want to work forever either.
