“Life can only be understood backwards;
but it must be lived forwards.”
– Soren Kierkegaard
One of my favorite philosophers does seem to be valid and sound in his assertions.

Yes, that is so true. Perhaps that is why when we are older we reflect on our younger years and are able to understand a lot more and/or finally make sense out of our actions.

Our lives have always seemed backwards to me. Often wondered why we’re young first then old as opposed to vice versa.

Interesting… But imagine if it was the opposite. You would develop physically backwards, that doesn’t makes sense. But they do say that in old age people do become like babies again (need to be taken care of, depend on others and even their mind becomes baby like).

My father is currently taking care of my grandma who is 91 years old and he often says that when God created humans he did not spend enough time figuring out/planning old age.

Maybe God did. Remember, humans only averaged living Til their 50’s a while back. Now it 70’s. 🤔
