Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
A wry exaggeration framing life as an ongoing hardship, with the difficult 'start' stretched out to cover essentially a full lifetime. The joke inflates a hundred years for comic absurdity rather than any literal claim. It captures dark humor about struggle through that stretched, ironic timeline.
