Curious, Isn't It

Why do you suppose we make such a fuss over birthdays ending with zero? One generation was told to 'never trust anyone over thirty.' Somebody made a lot of money on a book called Life Begins at Forty. And tell me, is 80 really the new 60?
Think how much emotion we invest in certain dates. Anniversaries carry freight, good or bad, and affect us for their duration. Here in the U.S. we countdown the lowering of the ball in Times Square when it's already been the next year half way around the world.
With us or without us, as the newsreel used to proclaim: Time marches on.
