    THE belief that life begins at 40 is a myth. Research has found that the fourth decade heralds the beginning of the end.

    A study of 2,282 people aged 18 to 87 found that hitting 40 was synonymous with forgetfulness, lack of concentration and poor focus. While general intelligence appeared to remain stable over time, psychologists concluded that everyday mental skills, such as remembering a telephone number or a person's name, showed a marked decline from the age of 40 onwards.


    Am still on my 30's but am not too strong with my remembering skills lol...maybe it'll come back when i reached the age of forty lol

Although, having said that, my own daughter had her second baby around two months after HER 40th birthday!

    Again, a lot of people these days have more or less reached their zenith, career-wise ... and, as a consequence, repaid a substantial part of any mortgage taken out in their mid-twenties, say.

    These are just two (main) reasons that immediately spring to mind; I'm sure there are many more. But I'll leave it to others to fill the gaps with THEIR answers.

    Talking about crisis....yeah every single month we do have it.

    We don't get older...we get uniquer...we don't die either..we are energy..we are conciousness..our body is just the vehicle we enjoy this experience with..

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.

    life begins at 40?

    Hmmm

    well,

    -body parts noticeably cease working from 35-45
    -Visits to the doctor increase
    -By your 70's you have a hard time remembering your name ....

    life begins when midwife looks at you and the doctor slaps you in the mouth!

    although ... it reminds me of a song

    From: http://www.musicbabylon.com
    When she was born the doctor slapped her mother in the mouth
