Purpose of the Passing Years The purpose of the passing years, with their joys and sorrows, is to wean one from self-worship—to mature him in love. Getting older is not getting better unless it is delivering one from self-love. Growing older is intended to make one more gentle, more thoughtful and considerate, more gracious and sympathetic, less childish and demanding. This is the reason for the trials and tribulations, the conflicts with pain, the struggles with disease, the financial reverses, the ingratitude of loved ones, the disappointments of false friendships, wrongful suffering and the grief of bereavement. Dont you wish you knew when you were younger what you know and understand today? Had God not turned all my mistakes into blessings I would have been destroyed long ago.
