The Youngest In The Room

In the book, “Midlife: A Philosophical Guide Book” by Kieran Setiya, the author states, “Back when I was the youngest in the room, nothing had started yet.  It was all ahead.  It’s easy to miss that feeling. But at that time, I lacked wisdom.  I had no or little experience and I didn’t have the confidence to know what to do.”  The point the author alludes to is that longing to be at a point in our lives where everything was still ahead of us overlooks the healthy and admirable quality of having wisdom of what gives us meaning in life and to be fortunate enough to be able to be making decision moving forward that generate more fulfillment in our lives.  Are you still longing to be the youngest in the room again?
