For oss personlig er barndommen en fortid som ikke kan returneres, og alderdom er vår fremtid. Vår konkrete fremtid, hvis vi lever for å se den, selvfølgelig. Men vi mennesker er vant til å leve en dag av gangen. Det virker for oss at alderdommen fortsatt er veldig langt unna. Og når den kommer, kan vi ikke endre noe.
