Perhaps it is because the longer you live, the more death you encounter. Perhaps because, if you are lucky- the longer you live, the more aware you become of the fragility, the impermanence of life.
Nothing as poignant as death can bring this realization clearer in one's mind.
Death will come, for certain. Yet when, we do not know.
Loving, connecting, understanding are the only true gifts along the way. And even these things, like all things in life, have impermanence. But, discovering them, embracing them are integral pieces to life's precious puzzle.
Learn to know yourself. Learn to love yourself. Learn to connect and understand and love one another. Tomorrow is not a guarantee. Live this moment now, before it is too late.
