Give it a few years. Paralyzing fear of death sinks in at age 32.5.
1 comments

I realize this is at least partly tongue-in-cheek, but at 36 I'm not really afraid of death. I am, however, rather terrified of aging further, since that's a thing that's happening right now. It's become very current in the last couple of years. And 'dying', since that's basically the very worst phase of aging.
I'm 37, not paralyzed by mortality, but sickened by the purported invincibility of 30 year olds. :)

It starts long before age 30. Just wait till your kids get older, Thomas ....
