It's so frustrating that we are forced to grow old because we are robbed of our choice to end life on our terms.
There's nothing worth living long for. Technology is making it so people live even longer into old age, but what is the point of that? That sounds terrifying to be trapped in your decaying body while your mind still feels younger than it is. If you end up with no money, no loved ones, it sounds like a hell on earth.
Aging forces people to make decisions they wouldn't necessarily do on their own. People rush into marriages because they don't want to die alone. They take on jobs they hate so they don't live in an absolute shit hole. Most people now can't even form connections let alone make enough money to afford the cost of living. I envy a reality where you can choose when to end it all because in that small window of time you could see into infinity. Suddenly you're free of the expectations to plan for the misery that is growing old, and you get to spend your life on your terms.
