The older you get the more you should meditate

[Someone here]

I believe the more conditioning you add the more time you have to spend to get rid of it. I remember when I was a child my mind was clear .I was enjoying the moment.  No worry..or anxiety..or overthinking..or existential worries..I could fall asleep in few minutes etc . And with age the opposite happened in tandem . And I'm not that old for fuck sake I'm only 26 so there is no mid life crisis or anything like that yet . No wonder very old people begin to lose their beans and they are quasi crazy . 
Anyone had the same realization?

And the bad part is that also as you age meditation becomes more difficult yet more needed which is a bad combo .new conditioning accumulates each year which make it somewhat more difficult.

I meditate all the hours i'm awake, it comes natural to me per example. No matter what i do. Meditation does not mean only sitting.

Agreed. I’m also 26 and feel the same way. 
I started serious meditation at 20 and I notice each year my meditation skills develops more and more.

I'm from '87 and meditation comes easier and easier after time. Of course, after you train yourself into hypnotizing into your own image and listening the breath all times during waking hours. Just use listening to breath as something you depend on it, not an exercise, not a training, a way o life, look it as food or air.

Interesting. Osho also have said you can turn your whole life to a meditation process by being mindful with whatever is present without your mind or attention wandering.  But I think this requires training. You need to be advanced meditator to do that .

Great but wait a minute this means you actually disagree with me ..you're saying each year meditation becomes easier ..whereas I'm saying each years it becomes more challenging to sit still and do nothing because your brain rots and becomes evermore attached to mental stimulating activities. And we live in a time where everyone are constantly stimulating themselves with video games and Internet etc . Everyone nowadays is a mindless zombie.

I think the older you get the more you should meditate because the ageing process is pretty stressful. And as you age the more you have to handle your own mortality and people inevitably die who you know.

Meditation allows you a way to cope adequately with that.

As we get older we begin to lose things, our vitality, ppl, energy, youth, work, and such, things go away as You age, this is natures way of making Us have to go within Ourselves to Find out the Reality of Life/Existence rather than seeking it outside of ourselves, so aging should bring Us closer to being Meditative but it doesn't in our Society/Culture because we are Ego/Intellect driven/identified which is heavily Survival based which is all about Accumulation/Gathering of ppl, places, things and experiences so because of that in this society its harder for ppl to start a meditation practice simple due to heavy Conditioning and Karma influence,...,
