I am so much less uptight about things than I was 20 years ago. To me that is the benefit of being 40. I would not trade places with the 22 year old me.
That is for sure. I am actually the type of a man now that I couldn't be when I was so anxious about the future and the present. I work, I pay my bills, I write Answers, collect art, and I have someone to share my life with.
I wish I had more money, but doesn't everybody. I'm becoming the mildly eccentric gentleman that I always aspired to be without the worries that it isn't happening soon enough and might not happen at all.
I too share your outlook. I like my maturity and the ability to see the world as it is and still get up with a smile most days. I am happily and healthily in my 50's and look forward to every new experience and relish everyday!
The stay fit so I can do the things I want for as long as possible but am much less concerned with the superficial - just can't see the point and wasting all that energy of fighting the signs of my experience and life!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
