1) It wasn't an appeal to authority -- I was asking for your bona fides. Tell me what you know about growing old, at your tender age?
2) No tantrum thrown, no anger felt, sorry to poke a hole in your goal.
3) The thought occurs to me that you don't really know what your own position is.
Finally, it was never really a conversation, because such requires listening from both sides of the conversation -- a quality you've yet to demonstrate in this thread. No big loss. I don't care to change your mind, but you clearly are invested otherwise. Enjoy yourself.
You are appealing to subjective experience as a way to conclude that time alone makes one lose an appreciation for life. This is not something to be determined by such means, however.
What one feels on the matter is not conclusive by itself, but rather why one feels as one does.
