After a Long Time

My personal impression of having lived for a long time is of reaching a point in which I see and hear doors being permanently slammed shut and locked, one after the other.

The irony, however, is that all through that time I never exerted myself much in trying to open them -- most of them.

These doors, of course, are only in the human sphere. Luckily there are plenty of other worlds in which it is possible to live.
