Wait until you hit the 50 year mark and come back here with that answer to such an ignorant question. Your health can still be great in your 50s, however, beyond your 70s it get pretty dicey.

I now understand why many of extra terrestrials live long lives, eventually other people discover the same thing and eventually it becomes common knowledge. Gun powder used to be a secret in the east, now little kids make it in science class.

It's unsurprising to see that the baby boomers still have that whole blind delusion thing going on.
Maybe, if we are lucky, the global economy will collapse soon & snap you out of your "oh isn't consumerism wonderful! I love living to work & working to die for money every day the rest of my life" fantasy. I know, I know, family & all that bullsh#. I seriously pity all of you beyond comprehension.
This will be the last generation of white collar society. & good riddance.

Dude I had Lupe on in the car when reading the replies.
So weird haha
However, I think the idea of seeing/being part of a change has been conditioned into us, because human nature is broken & (apparently) inherently dualistic, & we've always had some broken system of poverty/disparity or another.
We are a long way off of Star Trek next gen style egalitarianism, & our addiction to the unnecessary suffering of humanity until then is unbearable for me, personally.
We are only free in death.
Sidenote:
I am extremely esoteric, & it would be more than interesting to hear your views of universal war. If there is one, I believe it to be spiritual rather than physical.
I also, however, ascribe to any & all alien theories, & personally believe the human race is being developed as some sort of intergalactic army.
Unfortunately, we are probably just some fluke of evolution & a joke of an existence.
