Character develops itself in the stream of life.
The defects of the mind, like those of the face, grow worse with age.
Aging is not uncomplicated. Creativity is an extraordinary help against destructive demons.

Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.

The whole point of having great characters is the opportunity to explore them more deeply with time, re-interpreting them for each new age.
All diseases run into one, old age.
