What Time is It?

     If we compress our entire life into 24 hours, and you are 20 years old, it would be 6 o'clock in the morning.  Not to worry.  Your whole life is still ahead of you.
   
     If you are 40 years old, it's 12 noon.  You are probably settled in our work, and have a growing family and all the responsibilities that go with it.  Half you life is already gone.
   
      If you are 60, it's six o'clock in the evening.  Your responsibility for raising children is mostly done, and your are looking forward to retirement.
   
     If you are 70, it's 9 0'clock in the evening and it's dark outside.  Physically you are not what you used to be.  Life slows down.
   
     I'm in my 80s.  For me it could be 11:45.  I'm okay with that.
