Could you kick your own?

25-year-old me would whip 40-year-old me’s ***. At 25, I had high metabolism, a physically demanding warehouse job and an angry streak. At 40, I’m fat, work a desk job and am no longer filled with piss and vinegar.
Well I'd be 20 and that 20 year old would beat me to death. To many injuries, especially the TBI'S mean I'd probably go down quick with a hit to the head. I beat a drug dealers face in when he sold my sister fentanyl that almost killed her when I was 32 and got an assault charge that was later dismissed. But that dude didn't have time to react or see me coming. I would try my best not to get in a fight because it's going to end badly either way, I'm not that good a fighter either. I'll throw down if I have too though. That's good you feel tougher now. I just feel crazier.
We certainly go through different stages in life, reach a peak and go down hill. No one gets out of this world alive. When I was in my early 20's I was a Drill Sgt in the U.S. Army and was trained to kick ***. Then in my 30's and 40's I maintained an edge. In my mid 50's I noticed I was losing a step and this carried over to my 60's At that point I realized I may need a little help so my knife got longer and sharper and I spent more time on the range practicing my "shot". Now in my 70's I have grown to understand what my grandpa told me when I was a young boy full of vinegar. He said, "don't mess with an old man, he will kill you".
To answer the question no, I can not handle myself of 15 years ago because I am on the downward slide of life. Which makes me much more dangerous.

I'm 30, so not only could I beat up my 15-year-old self, it would do both of us a lot of good if I had the opportunity.
