Ok so now you have worked out how old you are think of your next mile stone birthday, 20, 30, 40 etc. So now take that mile stone birthday and first times it by 2 and then the mile stone birthday by 3, if you are 20 that will give you 40 and 60. Now ask will I be alive at that birthday. Age at next milestone Milestone X 2 Milestone X 3 20 40 - Yes 60 - Should be 30 60 - Should be 90 - Possibly 40 80 - Possibly 120 - Dont think so. 50 100 - Well some people are! 60 120 - Very un-lightly 70 Dont even bother If you want to know the average age life expectancy have a look at this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy Ok, so I am 53 today. I have lived at least half my life. I am having a good life, I hate the phrase You have had a good life, this suggests that you are at the end. and I dont want it to end. And more importantly life is what you make it. When I die the world will end. This is a fact for me. To everyone else it will just be another mark in time. And people wonder why I think birthdays are depressing. It is just a way to mark another step closer to the grave.
