I don&#x27;t believe there is anything in my comment to suggest otherwise. I was simply trying to capture the sentiment that some feel when reading stories like these. I tend to think this feeling results not from a failure to achieve (after all, many of us have still done admirably), but rather the sense of regret that one misused a period of one&#x27;s life. I didn&#x27;t mean to communicate that &quot;life is a race&quot; at all.
