"Thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening become a lie"
Sounds familiar? What we call 'middle age' need not be a turning point toward death. Ageing may humble us and awakens us to how precious life really is. Finally we've grown up and realised that the body might be aging but we've accumulated a heck of alot of spiritual prowess and knowledge.
The question is - what are we going to do with it to renew our commitment to life?
