Well there's also space junk... Speaking of space.
Die young and leave a good looking corpse hey? Because we mourn the young and pretty more. And white, of course.
An older person dies and people ask how old. Then it's oh, good innings, for anyone over 70. But we lose libraries....
Men always feel the desire to protect and procreate, absolutely. It's no coincidence virile, powerful men like younger woman, and why we recoil when an older woman is with a younger guy, and why we secretly smirk : oh, we knew he was too young for her and wouldn't appreciate her as she ages, when they uncouple. Procreation is the driver of everything.
Sadly, yes. It appears to be the only reason I exist... I have a belly button, so I'm not some sort of divine messiah
