Over 50 is best time of your life
FALLING levels of stress and worry, a longer life and better health mean life now begins at 50, a study shows.
Instead of settling into a “fireside and slippers” existence, older people now pursue fulfilment in a more active and vigorous middle age.
Researchers found older folk also benefited from a “positivity effect” meaning they recalled fewer bad memories, had more emotional control and an ability to see things positively.

I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
“truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.
Nietzsche
To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
Heraclitus
I just too negative and pesimistic to believe it on myself. But for the others it's very plausible...taking into account that many times they at younger ages amaze me by being not down at situations, conditions (or even lookings) that I would find simply unbearable.
Ps. I suppose it's my fault...or not. Anycase it would be better if I am wrong and they're right being joy and not worrying, in order to try to overcome myself to become one of them.
Feeling stressed out is like an old memory now, the feeling of contemptment is very nice, the free time i have to do things at my own pace is great.
Money problems are non existent, the gentler life style i am living has improved my mental well being enormously..
Cynicism is an attitude or state of mind characterized by a general distrust of others' apparent motives or ambitions, or a general lack of faith or hope in the human race or in individuals with desires, hopes, opinions, or personal tastes that a cynic perceives as unrealistic or inappropriate, therefore deserving of ridicule or admonishment. It is a form of jaded negativity, and other times, realistic criticism or skepticism. The term originally derives from the ancient Greek philosophers called the Cynics who rejected all conventions, whether of religion, manners, housing, dress, or decency, advocating the pursuit of virtue in accordance with a simple and unmaterialistic way of life.
