> People peak quite early. Also seeing your values, beliefs and lifestyles being ridiculed by the new generations isn't that much fun. Implicit in this is that people can't change. More time alive to experience different cultures, form relationships with different people, and perform different roles in society are all likely to encourage people to be more accepting and adaptable, not less. Put another way, I don't have to change if I'm just running out the clock, but if I'm going to be around a while then it's worth staying engaged with my community.
