Topix Underground

I don't know why I've become obsessed with getting old...maybe because I'm there. The biological aspects aside, there is a life's worth of accumulated sorrow as most of the people you ever knew or cared about have died. It adds up. Every friend, family member, pet that dies takes a chunk out of you. And when you die, the world goes on without you. There will be no one left to notice except one or two people. You come to the realization that everything you spent your life chasing is meaningless.   For me, the most important thing now is to die before my wife...but not for a while.
