Many people, when they reach middle age, try to hide the signs of creeping old age…but they don’t know that the more they try to hide the external signs of old age, the more they age interiorly.
The prouder one is of one’s own wrinkles, the younger he becomes spiritually. At some point in life it is necessary to abandon the periphery and concentrate one’s efforts on returning to the center – letting go of possessions and focusing on the soul’s journey. Living life’s experiences in their inner essence leads to having a non-judgmental attitude. Being at peace with oneself leads to seeing everyone with a benevolent eye, knowing that everyone is part of the order of things.
