"Many differences between younger and older people that have long
been believed to reflect intractable age differences in attitudes or
the consequences of age-related decline may be neither. Young or
old, when people perceive time as finite, the attach greater
importance to finding emotional meaning and satisfaction from life
and invest fewer resources into gathering information and expanding horizons."
