This is so depressing, and I am left with just over 60%.I can't imagine how someone would feel with just 10% or even less..
I think about 10 years ago I felt like I had already gotten plenty enough out of life not to feel short changed. Still love living, don’t get me wrong.
The next 40 is going to be interesting.
The next 20-25 will be interesting for you - after that you will just be telling people to get off your lawn, and making doctors appointments. ;>)
So in that sense you may not do all the living you've done all over again and then some.
For example, I'd say my 30s felt half as a long as my 20s, which themselves seemed to pass much faster than than 10-20, which felt very long indeed. And childhood, 0-10, seemed like an eternity!
This is true even at a micro level. E.g. a 3 hour car ride now does not feel like a big deal to me, but it seemed almost unbearably long to me as a child.
Another way in which you won't do as much living as you've already done is that in your early years you went through profound development -- both physically and mentally. That doesn't happen again; we mature, we refine, and (sadly, hopefully not too much), we decline, but it's nothing near as profound as we get to experience early in life.
Or, you could find yourself in a much better place in a year, and the time you spend doing that better is worth more in a year than the last 5 years where it was not better.
All that we can be certain of is this very moment and not much else. Live it up!
FWIW, as someone in their early 30’s, the chances of you dying this year are somewhere in the 1% range. But your life expectancy has also gone up to 78/83 (male/female), from 76/81 where you were at birth.
More interesting is the quality of life, not how long you have =)
I just spent 8 years in jail simply because I was broke. What a waste of some of the best years of my life.
