It does not get better. There are only periods where you are too distracted to notice the finish line racing up fast. Eventually, for EVERYONE, it absolutely gets worse. Someday every person you love or hate will be finally broken. The most happy and successful and the least. And you too. For the most lucky that period of time is very short--sometimes only five or ten minutes. For others, much longer. Your best days will be behind you at some point. Try not notice for as long as you can. That's the best you can do.

That seems extremely pessimistic, and is not "the truth", just your opinion. Personally, my life really sucked until I was around 16 years old, that's when my life started turning around. Since then, my life have just become better and better every single year, even though I've messed up or others around me messed up. Maybe my view changed, or maybe I'm just getting to know myself better the longer I live, but I see no similarities between what you write, and how my life is.

    I'm not that far away from 75 in reality, how close are you?

      I turned 86 at the end of March. People don't want to see it or hear about it. They say, "He lived a good life. It is just part of getting old." But you have not lived the ruined part yourself yet. It is lonely and hopeless. Everyone is living their lives and they do not want to hear how you really feel. They want you to be positive. They want to say, "He was a fighter." A woman sits in my hallway crying because her father has not come to pick her up. She sobs and sobs. No one can comfort her. She might even be younger than me. No one visits her. You become a helpless child again. Things to say and think to make them feel better. So they feel like they will deal with it too and be ok too. Time will move faster and slower for you too and you will see for yourself.

        I don't know what you are going through, but you might find it helpful to find some professional help to talk about what you are going through. Some people do find life helpless, but it's not something that is guaranteed or required in order to be a human. Some people do enjoy life, and with some help, you hopefully could to. I wish you all the best.

    I'm 55, and it keeps getting better. I imagine I'll slow down some day, but I keep smarter, wiser, and although I don't think I have the physical endurance I once had, my experience and improved skills offset that for most physical tasks. More importantly, I'm happier every year, as I continue to learn and understand. I didn't mean this to come across as bragging; I don't think this is uncommon. I just want to make sure that you know your statement can't be universally generalized.

> Your best days will be behind you at some point. Try not notice for as long as you can. That's the best you can do. It's entirely feasible to exit before life goes downhill. If you make sufficient effort to die youthfully as late as possible, that can still be a relatively old age.
