Growing old is to be set free. It is a slow and long-simmering process that extracts you from what you are really made of. But it requires acceptance.

I limited myself to introduce a change in my way of thinking and the way I see things. When I look at my child, I do it in a different way then when I'm contemplating a chair. They are different... the child is a living being, and the chair is an object. ↗
