Regarding #1:

As a young man, I was out for a bike ride when a man drove past me in a very expensive Mercedes coupe. My first thought was that I would love to be in his shoes, and what an amazing life he must have.

My next thought was that a man of his age would probably see a young man like me out for a weekend bike ride and wistfully think of his own youth. Not just the vigor of youth but also the lack of responsibilities.

This makes me think of the adage:

-When you are young you have energy and time but no money -When you are an adult you have money and energy but no time -When you are old you have time and money but no energy

Obviously the answer is to embrace what you have in the moment but easier said than done.

Super nice trilogy, above thread!!!
