This says a lot about about how much the human life span has changed in the last 90 years:
“You are thirty-five years old,” I said to myself. “More than half of your life has already been spent."
“You are thirty-five years old,” I said to myself. “More than half of your life has already been spent."
Edit: Not sure why this would be down-voted. It's a quote from the King James Bible with a source reference that supports the notion that 70 years is about all the time we as humans have to live life in good health. It is relevant to the article as it lines-up with the 35 years old, "half of my life" claim as well. People do live longer than that, but quality of life and good health tend to go down a lot in the 70s.
The only difference I see is that people pretend 45-50 is when "mid-life" happens. No, you're not going to live to be 100.
35-37 is mid-life. Accept it.
