I think it happens in the late 40s, early 50s.
And I don't think that many people live to 100.
So it probably should be seen as the life stage of when people's children aren't as dependent on them or where people are solidified enough in their career that it's kind of set it and forget it.
And it's no longer as much of a challenge their career.
They know how to do what they do.
And it's not, you know, you're not out there like hunting the way that you were of like, I got to eat what I kill.
You've got an abundance.
If you've done it right, you've got some money put aside.
And now you start asking questions about like, what's the point of all of this?
Your body's starting to change in ways that are not the desirable way.
There are ways that your back hurts a little more and everything feels a little bit more.
I'm there.
I've got the gray hair for it.
And you start to say, hey, if I have a limited number of days, is sitting next to this person
you know, who we've heard all of each other's stories and they no longer find my jokes quite as funny because they've heard them all, is that the best life has to offer?
Because I think love, if you think about it, love is not just something we experience in our feeling towards the other person.
I think if you think about, you know, when you first met your wife,
It wasn't just that you fell for her, you fell for who you were when you were with her.
You know, how you felt about yourself when you were with her.
Like how seeing yourself through her eyes, like the wonder she felt towards you and the adoration and admiration that she felt for you, how it made you feel about yourself.
