In the beginning of life, when we are infants, we need others to survive.  And at the end of life, we need others to survive.  But here's the secret, in between, we need others as well.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty-two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.
