    Young people think they will live forever. Us old people know better. The closer we get the more careful we have to be. We aren’t as quick, strong and unbreakable any more.

    Those who get braver, too brave, may not get very old.

    “And even if it is a shame to waste young lives behaving this way, it is definitely cooler than risking old lives behaving this way. I mean, so what if some fifty-eight year-old [person] gets a load on and starts playing Death Race 2000 in the rush-hour traffic jam? What kind of chance is he taking? He’s just waiting around to see what kind of cancer he gets anyway. But if young, talented you , with all of life’s possibilities at your fingertips, you and the future Cheryl Tiegs there, so fresh, so beautiful — if the two of you stake your handsome heads on a single roll of the dice in life’s game of stop-the-semi — now that’s taking chances! Which is why old people rarely risk their lives. It’s not because they’re chicken — they just have too much dignity to play for small stakes.”

    Old people can say, “Been there, done that.”

    Physically, we start to respect our limits. Financially, we want to live well and leave something for our legacy. Socially, on one hand we learn to let people live and on the other, cease to give a fig for the opinions of idiots.

    Depends on who the risk affects. Just the risk taker, fine. Someone who has not agreed to a risk not so fine. Someone who sees the risk go wrong, again not so fine. The person who runs a red light and risks a crash or runs into someone else doesn’t just affect their life but the life of the other person, also everyone that sees the crash and the aftermath.
