Just as Michel de Montaigne's famous phrase "The wrinkles of the spirit make us older than those of the face" it seems to me that the wrinkles of the mind are difficult to attenuate as much as those of the face.


• I get very angry over little things… 🥵


• When I am in a serious situation, I want to hide since it is difficult to assume it ... 🤢


• I cry watching a soap opera that I have never seen before and I console my emotions too cheap ... 😢


• Sometimes I am very clever… I am also surprised by being an expert in not revealing myself to anyone… 🤫


🤔Being older, would it have to be a process of disappearing before death?


So I am always afraid of him and my ego shrinks incessantly?


In Florida Scott-Maxwell's book 'The measure of my days (1979)', he frankly confesses about physical suffering and decay from aging ... to live life, being an old man with wisdom, emphasizes being satisfied and comfortable with simple things.


Being older is an opportunity to be more mature and humble. The generosity of enduring the hardships of the world and tolerating the mistakes of youth is a privilege of being old.


The adults who lost their goals from being fed up with exhaustion, the cheeky adults, the ones who forgot to feel ashamed.



The figure of immature adults is a self-portrait and the image of myself, of our generation, which gave birth to the ego centered on the material.


Just as we take vitamins and nutritional supplements💊 every day for the body, we should invest in the mind, becoming aware… just like the ring of a tree with the passage of time, being older, will be the meaning of a strong maturity.



If the consciousness of oneself expands like the consciousness of the universe, being older will not be going towards death but the process of returning to eternity.


Then, if that mind does not remain within the flow of time, we can accept the body itself that works according to the conditions of time.


• Have fewer things than before, 👞


• Be satisfied with the current condition, 🎋


• Simply accept, 🥢


it will be evidence of being older.


It will be a gift from the world to me.
