They don't get it yet and that's okay. It's different perspectives, maybe stages. When reaching a certain point, some people realise it's either over, defined by societal standards (reach this, that and that goal by 20, this by 25, etc, or you have failed), or they have to drop this whole having "peaked" language, realising they might still be here with 60, 70, and what are they supposed to do? Dig a hole and lie in it until they actually die? Or keep trying and being in the middle of things because that's what life is about, despite being too old or whatever. Nobody cares. Either do something or don't. Wish people would understand there is no point to prove whatsoever, it's only them and their experiences. Despite that, I don't like the overly cute motivational stuff either despite agreeing with the general message to keep going and stop comparing. Maybe a cute fluffy yellow chicken just provokes aggression in some, especially when they have it hard 🤷
