Growing Up

Posted by Mizy Mizearly at Tuesday, March 06, 2012


Age makes you notice certain things. For example, I now know that a man’s life is broadly divided into three periods. 

During the first, it doesn’t even occur to us that one day we will grow old, we don’t think that time passes or that from the day we are born we’re all walking toward a common end. 

After the first years of youth comes the second period, in which a person becomes aware of the fragility of life and what begins like a simple niggling doubt rises inside you like a flood of uncertainties that will stay with you for the rest of your days. 

Finally, toward the end of life, the period of acceptance begins, and, consequently, of resignation, a time of waiting. Throughout my life, I’ve known quite a few people who have become trapped in one of these stages and have never managed to get beyond them. It’s a terrible thing.
