born an 80 year old. how great that would be if life's cycle were in reverse. you were born at the point of death. when you become conscious at first you might feel like shit ... like a real bad hangover. but you would be loved by many people because they were just at your funeral speaking of your accomplishments and how they miss you. for the first 5 years which are now your last, you would struggle a little physically but would have wisdom, well, equal to your years. and the anticipation. imagine the anticipation. each day waking up feeling a little more spry, not to mention having nothing to do but exactly what you want to do. you have at least 5 to 10 years of retirement before your first job. also, at this point you have a husband or wife or partner who you already know inside and out. as you get younger, more and more adventures come your way and less and less is expected of you. you enter a time of exploration gearing up for the i don't know what i want to be when i am a kid. in college, you get the senior year, hardest finals, thesis etc. over right away and then it is on to easy street. i don't know exactly how the teen years work out in this scenario but the trip from 12 years down to 5 must be great. and again just like your 80 year old birth, as you approach infancy everyone loves you because after all everyone loves babies. at the end, no regrets, no evaluation, no flashbacks.... only laughing at the peek a boo game. the end is really the beginning.
