It sucks, but it's life. And life, when viewed using these kinds of

If one wanted to be /really/ cynical then one could probably draw an
age-related curve of how valuable a life is:

young child: futire potential but few resources spent so far on it.

Young but recently-qualified worker: high value.

Recent retiree: nonproductive, but some use from experience,

Old codger: Into the showers.

This depreciation sucks doesn't it?

I'd better trade myself in for a younger model.
