What's your point?

I think it means don’t take growing old for granted. To seize the day. Carpe diem.

You grow spiritual, gain wisdom, insight, Love yourself more, have more understanding of people and life in general. Become less stupid, look after your body more, do practices that will improve yourself ie meditation, see the beauty in everything. Listen more less mindless chatter. Do not take other peoples opinions to heart they belong to them not me. Begin to help others with out wanting reward, I could go on and on, This is my experience. Love from Ray. This is a privilege

So true. Our culture has an obsession with youth and hides and shames elders while other cultures revere them. The wisdom of age is more beautiful than the naïveté of youth. And the alternative to aging is death which is a journey in itself, but one that will come in its own time. When the body and mind are balanced and happy, aging becomes joyful. But linear success may be a myth. 2 steps forward, 3 back, 5 forward, 1 back, 3 sideways, 7 diagonal... trust the process! Thanks again for these really lovely posts that are bringing peace, philosophy, wisdom, gratitude to this forum!
