What's the best thing about getting older?

Caring less and less what other people think of you or the path that your life has taken. Coming into a greater awareness of who you really are, both in the sense of a personality and a Self, and realizing that your life does relate deeply to the world. The reduction of ego. The continuing enrichment of long-term relationships and friendships. And, frankly, sex gets better and better, despite what they say about the age at which men are in their sexual prime.

I would like to be able to say that, among other things, good things about getting older are that one's abilities to affect one's community and the world in positive ways increase, that there is some satisfaction in having accomplished things that benefit others, and that you find yourself in an increasingly comfortable situation financially. But I'm far from being there experientially.
