Does anybody know how to faint on purpose?

What is the purpose of living after the age of 40 ?does anybody know the answer to this?

  • Answer:

    From an evolutionary standpoint, our major purpose in life is to insure the success of our offspring. You might have picked 40, since a person who procreates at 20 would mostly have raised their children by 40. Of course, some people might put off having children for a while in order to accumulate wealth (and thus be better able to protect/assist their children), or they might continue to have children for several years. So, we might be useful until 50 :-) However, if you could stick around for even longer, you might be able to assist your offspring raise *their* children. If that makes it more likely that your genetic line will succeed, then maybe you have an excuse to hang around until 60 or more. Of course, this doesn't even touch on the real meaning of life which is to get up each day and enjoy a mocha at StarBucks.

I am almost 46 and to be honest, 40th are better than 30th in almost every way except I need a reading glasses. You never get old, but wiser.

Forty is just a number. It brought with it some external changes - but inside, not too much changed. So why would I adopt some new purpose, when the old one did just fine?

uh because you have a better life and you can live until god calls you home. (sniffing)

see morgan's answer. she took the words out of my mouth. if you did mean from a darwinian perspective, as I think you did because of the specification of 40, then a lot of people obviously missed your intention.

To help out your grown children. To experience grandchildren. If you have no children then I guess you just continue to do what you like to do in life till you die and there would be no "real purpose", not in a biological sense anyway. Nature is pretty much done with you.
