43 Is Not the Meaning of the Universe

Between Facebook, which keeps us over-updated on the adult deeds of childhood friends, and nostalgia-insistent lists like this “43 Things That Will Make You Feel Old”, it’s little wonder being, or feeling like, a grown-up is difficult anymore. Maybe we’ve outgrown the whole concept of grown-up. Rather than making us feel old, these silly lists prevent us from being properly old. Nothing is allowed to take and keep its proper place. These lists serve no purpose but to draw in suckers to link to them. Insidious. (10 Presidents with Umbrellas on the other hand…)
