This is just the irony of life begins at 4o.........so when he is a fool at 40, this means that he hasn't learned any lessons yet in life...and he has just started to do foolish things and can't realize what the mess he is in...not learning the knack of being matured you know...that is why he is a fool at 40.And who is that???Not me for sure..half the age........

Perhaps this Mahamad Ali quote will help:
"A man who has the same belieifs at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life"
