"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."
