I often hear about how people 'mellow with age', and I see examples of it everywhere myself. But I wonder how much mellowing is a result of acquired wisdom, vs. how much is the result of diminishing senses and a failing body, precluding the wordly diversions that once tested a younger soul?
It seems to me that the best spot to be on a continuum between these two factors is smack dab in the middle. A little bit battle-tempered, and a little bit relieved by old age.
Because simply battling to the end, or surrendering a life's desires to incapacity, would be a bitch.
