You need to get a better dog.

Why? Was he in your way and wouldn't move?

High school was basically one minor trauma after another that I despised, but it was also an important part of my life, and I kind of mourn for that deranged kid who was sure everything would get better one day. He's dying and many of his experiences and feelings are going to be lost to me forever, and considering just how much he went through during those years it just doesn't seem fair.
And what about the future? I'll probably never know if the human race reaches past our solar system, or if we ever have a unified world government, or if Batman ever marries Catwoman. There's just so much cool **** to know at any given time that the thought of missing out on an infinite stretch of time after I die is galling. What right do you people have to do things if I'm not around to see it?

Don't worry Batty: don't you know we're all figments of your deranged imagination? When you die, we cease to exist. Comforting, isn't it?

Do you mean an older person gets a more "well what can you do, all gotta die some time" view, or that people expect older people to die more than they would a younger person: "she's what, eighty now? Had a good run" etc.?

You're right here. Once you lose someone close (don't wish it on you, man, but it will happen) your whole perspective changes through 180 degrees. Believe me. It gets very real.
