This world is designed to favor the elderly. Gaining experience through trial and error first means that you have a competitive advantage over latecomers. It also occupies an advantageous position in social organization. This is the advantage that arises from being the first to start. However, the statement that 1 plus 1 equals 2 can be understood without any experience; it serves as an analytic proposition that can be known by reason compared to the aforementioned experiential proposition. In other words, in the realm of analytic propositions, the advantage of being older does not hold much weight. The world needs both experiential propositions and analytic propositions, but experience is not always essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The frequent sensation of missing someone, coupled with the increasing number of missing persons, is evidence that we are aging. People tend not to miss those linked to bad memories. Yearning is a happy emotion. When the feeling of yearning is intense, the regret for the person also grows larger. When happy memories and regrets intertwine, it can result in heartache. Perhaps happiness and unhappiness ultimately become indistinguishable. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
