Note: I thought of this before I read Sarah’s blog.
The ultimate question is ‘What is the average age that people understand their own part in the universe?’ This could be related to a midlife crisis that happens between 40 and 60 (average is 46), or people may come to the realization before or after.
Let me start off with the midlife crisis. Contrary to popular belief, the midlife crisis usually has nothing to do with aging (unless you count different chemical reactions in your body due to aging). The midlife crisis is usually something due to obvious reasons such as death of a parent, children leaving home, etc. At this point in life, people confront the facts of their lives and determine if they have led a successful life. Then, they either make changes or realize that they have lived how they wanted to live and stay the same. So…they determine their part in the universe.
Some people may have epiphany moments in their lives to determine their part in the universe, and so they factor into the early (or later) years of the equation.
