"It's natural this way" 😁

I first read "with the minimised bruised ego one would expect from a man over 65" in the opposite way you intended it -- as minimal, not minimised -- because it reminded me of this line from Zorba the Greek (I'm paraphrasing): "My heart is like a sail that has been through so many storms and patched up so many times that it's indestructible."

Your interpretation of aging is far more pessimistic. Or to put it another way, What does not kill you only makes you more bruised...

"What does not kill you only makes you more bruised." - I've been feeling like that for months.
