That’s the only conclusion we can come to after viewing this Facebook Home commercial, Airplane. We know what Wieden + Kennedy was going for here — bringing your social life to, well, life — but who in their right mind would want to admit they had a social life like this guy?

I’m 65 and my wife had an affair 23 years ago and we survived it—therapy, tears, rebuilding, the whole architecture of repair—and the marriage now is good, genuinely good, but there are still moments when she laughs at her phone and something in my chest tightens for exactly two seconds before I can talk myself down, and those two seconds are the scar’s rent, and it pays on time every single month

Research suggests that people who are willing to accept change as they get older live significantly longer than those who resist it — not because change is healthy but because resistance is expensive and the body pays a biological price for every year spent clenching against a reality it cannot control and that clenching is aging people faster than the change itself ever could
