By 25 you have nothing figured out---I mean total cluelessness---but you have no awareness of this fact.
By 35 you become aware of the fact that you have nothing figured out, but have no remedy for the situation.
(knowing is still a big plus)
By 45, you have begun to figure it out, but now you are almost halfway through life, and some of the things you have figured out don't matter as much as they used to.
By 55, you buy a really fast red something and get a girl at least half our age. Bingo...you are clueless again.
By 65, you have it mostly figured out, and things start to matter again---the things that you abandoned in your mid-life crisis.
By 75 (congrats for making it this far), you really don't give a damn what anyone thinks. You are free.
By 85, you are surprised/happy to be here.
By 95, you have forgotten most of what you learned---the things that brought you so much pain and angst--, yet you have retained all that is important to you. Bliss.
Growing old ain't so bad when you think about it.
