Flexing Time-frames

YoHormones rage – and in our family of six, we have four sets raging, 14 and 17, 45 and 47. I would wager that from symmetrical considerations, that elders undergo a hormonal change in the late 70s – but of unrecognized subtlety since people historically did not age so far.
RoPerhaps we should give serious consideration to expanding the range of life to meet the depth and bredth of life – an added third dimension – start formal school at 10, adulthood at 26, midlife at 45, retirement at 85 – with full obligation for something tangible. People of all ages need to feel included and valued at every age.
