Amen - I'm 38 and work in the film industry. It has no reason but the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long (Blade Runner). I have seen the corpse of humans live till 95 and did nothing for 40 years - go out in a blaze of glory

absolutely!! given my druthers, i'd prefer to live to a ripe old age - whether being productive or just hangin' out (in my
very
old age) - watching t.v. & surfin' the net to keep my brain cells moving around!
life may be crazy sometimes, and the world may be upside down most of the time, but i want "my candle" to burn for a very long time!
and as my signature line says

this is oh so true, filmbforever! i've known people in my life who fit that description perfectly!
but one genius (that i obviously
didn't
know) who has always come to my mind is the wonderful
George Gershwin
sadly, he died at the age of 38 from an inoperable brain tumori've loved his work since i was a very young girl, and often wondered what else he could have created had he "lived old"
but the world would never know because, as you said, the candle burned out

Died at 38! Oh now you've jinxed me

Life - enjoy the ride!
