That was really well put. The certainty that I had in my youth slowly slips away. It seems the more I know, the more I don't know... and never will.

The mortality issue has begun to weigh more heavily upon me as well. Perhaps thats why I am doing more now - I wanna do this or that or whatever. If I don't start doing stuff now, I never will.
