Take whatever reason you might come up with to explain that and ask yourself if you think it's unlikely or even impossible that we won't overcome it in the future.
Your logic here is impeccable. Mebbe young folk ain't lived long enough to git 'tired'. I'm just sayin'...
That doesn't make any sense. Why would time be a component here? Do you have any reason to think mere time will make you feel tired of living?
Let me easily dissuade you from believing that by pointing out that we used to live far shorter lives, as humans, in the past. Even though there was a time when people didn't generally live to be forty, as far as I know(correct me if I'm wrong here, anyone), they don't now reach that age and get tired of living, unless they suffer from particular debilitating or painful conditions. Time's got nothing to do with it. Rather, an old person lives a far less enjoyable life than a young person does. That's all there is to it. If you think otherwise, I'll let you come up with a different reason for why this happens.
