Why do so Many Say "I'm Getting Old"?

as I've written before, why join them when you can beat them with attitude, exercise, eating right etc. but they have their "reasons":
  • LAZINESS: probably the biggest reason/cop out/excuse: not to exercise, not to go out with friends, not to try new stuff (even if it will benefit them)

  • they want to get old? remember when we were kids, and we looked forward to being older: to be a teenager, or to go to bars, etc. so--
  • they want to be more mature? get on with life more? but isn't life short, too short, and we should as much as possible postpone going to to the grave?
  • to be more mature and grow up. this reason has some validity: you grow out of stupid actions like drinking too much, staying out too late if it's not for a good reason like getting laid, and you want to get to bed earlier to do more worthwhile actions: earning a living, playing with kids, doing a project early as possible
  • they're scared? many adults can deal with kids, less adults can deal with teens, young adults. e.g I've already written about and can write more about the super cliche: "these kids today with their music--that's not music!" and even trying to relate to their ways, dancing, fashion etc, gets to be too much i suppose for those that are getting to be set in their ways. and getting old prematurely?
