Examine your experience of the incarnation so far and realistically add up the moments of happiness and unhappiness and you tell me, oh somewhat vaguely nobly born, you tell me, what has it been like for you?
Frederick Lenz

Eternity becomes more beautiful as we age, if we age well. If we age poorly, then we don't improve our minds we don't refine all the aspects of our being.
