Shards of the soul: what do we lose with age?

Time can not be reversed. The invisible watchmaker steadily counts one hour after another, watching the people grow old. It would seem that quite recently you were still racing with your friends on a bicycle, signaling curious gawkers, and, one lash of eyelashes, and you're already at your first workplace. A little more, and it will be replaced by the second, then a cascade of all kinds of memories and ... a fireplace, and you are surrounded by your grandchildren.

Living every new day, a person notices obvious changes within himself. As if he was deprived of something, something very important and irreplaceable. But what is it? What do we lose with age?

Changes inside us

What people lose with age is faith. There is no God, they believe in it more and more every day, because it can calm them down. No, it's different. Losing faith in miracles, in the fact that in the world there is a place for magic.

Earlier we believed in Santa Claus, a kind magician and lost treasures. All our dreams were directed far ahead, towards the unknown. But the years went by, and all these fantasies evaporated, and in their place came a harsh reality.

It can not be said that this is bad, because only in this way one can survive in our world. But still the fact remains, faith in miracles is what we lose with age.

The body is the temple of the soul

As soon as our inner world changes, external changes will not keep you waiting. After all, the body is a reflection of the soul.

With age, all our vices break out. Smoking affects the teeth and hair, alcohol on the skin, and the hard work makes our faces stone, as if they are not able to express emotions at all.

So beauty is something that we lose with age. Although you can keep it for a long time, if you lead a correct lifestyle. But this is a completely different conversation.

It's hard to be a reliable companion

Friends are also something that we lose with age. After all, every year they become less and less. What is the cause? Well, here are a few answers.

First, quite often life itself interferes with normal relations, spreading comrades in different cities.

Secondly, the difference in social groups becomes an insurmountable barrier.

And thirdly, our laziness. It is she who becomes the key factor that prevents you from just calling and asking your friend: "How are you?"
