Two Ways to Think of Life
One is to think that we're living at the tail-end of it all. That humanity has lived so far as it has, and we're the "tail end" of this reptile we call life. Latest in the batch.
Another is to think that this is "beginning". That because of the accumulated knowledge of so-far experience, and the only-recent connectivity offered by the internet, and the always-surprising Universe, that we're at the "Stage 1" of what all is yet to be.
Both of these views seem to imply a very different kind of emotional layout as we spur into action in our daily lives. Which one do you get most excited by?
