The most unfortunate truth is that the older we get, the narrower our search for purpose becomes.

Age adds experiences that begin to make deeply personal differences much later than they ought.

As years pass, my faith becomes more central to my being and the pursuit of it as the defining “meaning of life” is so much more obvious and clearer well beyond what had been present in my merely curious early years.

Urgency to let others know that time is short and decisions they make now will determine their destination later drives us old men to instruct young men from experience, love and camaraderie to make changes in themselves and in the world while they still can,

narrowing their own search for purpose and meaning.
