I wonder if you'll still feel the same when you're in your mid-to-late 70s.
To the OP, I was listening to a recent episode of Infinite Monkey Cage on Radio 4 (all episodes available gratis on the iTunes) in which guest John Lloyd, when speaking about the concept of something called Block Time, said the following:
"...Tiime's a bit like a landscape, you know? Just because you're not in New York, it doesn't go away; it's always there. The same is true of last Wednesday: it's just sitting there with all the people in it going on. And people who don't have any religious faith, for example, find this rather comforting: that somebody who's gone is still there in last Thursday or, you know, three years ago or whatever, so it's all existent...."
Food for thought?
