Mortality at Forty

[juditigger]

What’s with all the heightened fuss on turning 40 among all other years in a person’s life?

I know many people who view forty as a new beginning, something to look forward to, a stage of liberation. I share the same sentiment.

Anyway, I mentioned it because my favorite Hugh Laurie once made a pact with his friends to kill themselves when they reach

I guess they say life starts at 40 because it's when we finally get the hang of things, when we're supposed to be stable, when we stop what we're going to be and all. I used to think 40 is too old but nowadays.. I guess it's isn't that old.. Life could just be starting at 40. Haha.

Hahaha, you're right! This generation has too many people too engrossed in whatever they do that 40 doesn't sound too old at all. :)
