    coming to realization of what's really important. Unfortunately, it seems that it can only be acquired via experience.

    Someone said something about my age.I'm 92 and still drive (legally) with no glasses required,can make it up and down stairs without difficulty. My basic problem is having a declining mind trapped in a declining body. Who he hell named these the "Golden years"?

  6. Getting closer to death is the greatest thing about getting older. I'm too jaded now. I live for others not myself.

  7. Did a short research on you and you seem to be geniune, by my approximate calculations you married at age 22. Very interesting.

    I think I realized I'm a mind trapped in a body around the age of 5. I'm 40 now, by the way, and self-reflection just as statistics say I'm definitely, like heck no, I'm not gonna reach your age.

    Unless I change course. Not just mine, the universe's. Yeah, right, but think my 12 years invested in finance (capital markets / derivatives) should pay off at some point. And my 35 years before that and the 23 years from the "Evreka!" moment and the moment I realized finance is the way forward, could also be nice and pay some dividends.

    I'm not here to play games, I'm very seriously about to alter the essence of the Universe. That's either a vanity overburst or a very "tripped" Californian now legal stuff. In 99% of the world. In my 1% it's plain (and ruthless) mechanics: if I'm about to do that then you realize I need a heck of a helluva hell of gigantic amount of energy, and money (especially "most money in the world" a.k.a. derivatives) are only the start of a glimplse into what lays beyond.

    In layman terms, I'm working into solving your problem (which is also mine). Lemme rephrase it: My basic problem is having a declining mind trapped in a declining body. Who he hell named these the "Golden years" (they call those either your 100s or my 5s, result if you fall for the glorification is literally, hell).
