The Age of Purity is more complex than meets the eye. One might believe that you must die by the age of 35 or that you have to commit suicide which is untrue. What is stated that it is detrimental to live past that age for many reasons and here is an algorithm to show you what we mean:

In a monotonous routine we wake up, go to work or school, come home, eat, do more work, and then go to sleep, in which, we then repeat the same procedures the next day as we did the day before. Thus leaving us with approximately 4 TRUE hours of “living” each day. For everyday we “live” on this planet, we truly only live 1/6 of the day. The average life span is 76 years and by living 1/6 of a day for 76 years we truly only live 13 years! So, in Roman calendar years we have lived 76 years, but in reality, we have given away 63 years of our life to toil, education, and worthlessness.

With the Age of Purity, simplification of life such as with Thoreau’s theories and ideas, is achieved mathematically. For every day 2/3 of a day is lived. The Age of Purity being 35 years of age, a true life of 25 years of living can be accomplished almost double that of an “average” life span. If we pass away at 35 years, we have achieved a more quality life over those seeking longevity since we eliminated the ultimate deterioration of life, the need for nursing homes asking to die each day, etc…

Without the Age of Purity:
1 day = 1/6 day of true living
76 yrs = Average Life span
1 year = 365 days
In one year, 61 days are truly lived
In 76 years, 4636 days of living
4636 days = 13 years truly lived

With the Age of Purity and Simplification of Life:
1 day = 2/3 day of true living
35 yrs = Age of Purity
1 year = 365 days
In one year, 243 days are truly lived
In 35 years, 8517 days of living
8517 days = 25 years truly lived
