If each generation marks its progress through life by milestones, then individuals are lost without those markers. Each goes through the events of growing up, getting a job, moving out of the parents', meeting someone, union, reproduction, and watching the same stages play out with the offspring, and finally ending with death.
If the offspring alter the milestones or avoid them completely, the parent becomes lost in time, or I should say time becomes much the same in itself without the milestones. And for that offspring, more of time is without milestones causing life to seem even more like an endless expanse.
