Sure there are a lot of things lost as we get older. I didn't say being older was better. I just think that there are some benefits we gain from age.

If all you can see is the things you lost then you are a most miserable person and I pity you.

Now on with the show:
It is easier to appreciate what you have when you are older. When I was 18 everything was "gimmie gimmie" "I want it now" and "I'll be happy when..."

I have learned to be content with what I have rather than be miserable over things I don't have (or lost).
