I'll be 59 in a few months and completely understand this man's feelings. While I'm not ready to die but if death came for me I would not feel cheated, not one bit. Life is an experience or more accurately a collection of experiences, some so very personal that I wouldn't think of even sharing them here anonymously. By the time you reach reach your late 50s you realize the moments in your life that have given your life the most meaning have passed and due to age won't ever be repeated, mainly family. His speechless moments are all family related. So are mine and they come only during a period in your life that can't be recreated later on. There will be other significant moments yet to come but none will compare to what I experienced in the past 30. So when I look at my life, I don't feel cheated. If it were to end now, it's been full. Maybe when a person comes to that realization they are ready to die, not that I want to, but yeah, maybe I am ready.
