I agree with everything you said, but it really feels like you're laying the groundwork for a smackdown by an 80 year old.

  Everyone you love will die and you will be a stranger in your own country.

      By 80 you have already outlived a lot of your friends.

    Luckily we all get a lifetime to make peace with this.

      Yeah, but I still see some elderly people who were very well-adjusted throughout their lives (AFAIK), but still be generally sad due to loneliness. I'm curious if elderly people with many, many kids tend to be happier due to much more frequent contact with loved ones.
