Act your age

A taste of the latest from Prospect online: Julian Baggini
When I turned 30, too many years ago to mention, I raised a glass and toasted my entry to middle age. Everyone else was shocked, thinking it was premature. Perhaps the real reason for their recoiling was that if 30 was middle aged, that made the rest of them either middle-aged themselves, too close for comfort or—god forbid—old.
