AGE


                                

 

Everyone goes through different phases in their lives

From toddler to adolescence

Every year things change

For instance: as you get older your body changes over a period of time;

Not only physical changes occur;

There are also the emotional and mental sides of things as well

As we get older we gain knowledge; we think differently

We see the world in a different light;

We see it for what it is;

We start making sense of what is real and what is fiction;

Things that were fun when we were children,

Tend to mean futile when we age

Every stage in our lives has meaning

And we develop as a person as time progresses,

But everyone will come to an understanding at least once in their lives

And come to the conclusion that this world is a mess…

And to be part of it just leads to depression and despair

Life is not fair!

Especially if you love the world and all its materialistic things

All of these niceties will not be present in heaven; that is certain

Does age even matter?

The short answer is no,

Some mature from a very young age-others never seem like they will never ever mature!

It all depends on what you want out of life

In the end of the day we all should ask ourselves:

Can I …

              LIVE WELL AND DIE OLD?
