About This Quote

The old man in this quote is a person who tries to maintain a certain lifestyle even though it is no longer relevant. He is a person who only has the interests of the past in mind. He is a person who needs to get out of the way and let people grow up and move on with their lives. In fact, he may be the cause of his own decline since he still thinks based on what he did when he was younger.

The idea that a man’s worth depends on how many years he has lived is a depressing notion. Also, if he has white hair and lines on his face, chances are good that he is not getting any younger.
