This is a little off topic but this thread makes me wonder why as a society we do this to people who have so much to offer. Folks in their 60s are YOUNG. And they have wisdom aplenty.

I was born in a country where the current Prime Minister is 92 years old. And he's setting a cracking pace.

What's your passion? How can you change the world, starting from where you are? If you could pretend for 10 minutes that you were in your 20s, starting out, what would you choose to do? Why don't you do a bit of that, whatever it is.

This idea that we are born to slave away for 40 years of our life, then hoof off to pasture and while away the years till death claims us. Ugh! I'm 44 and I plan never to retire. I'm just getting started on my life's passion now I've ditched the booze. My profession is in dire need of change and I'm starting there.

I bet you have untold skills and knowledge to impart to a world in desperate need. I hope you find an opportunity to do it! And stop wasting time drinking ...
