Our goals, interests and ambitions are generally commiserate with our age and they change predictably over time. For instance, we begin life preoccupied with our own personal needs and remain so – albeit to a slightly lesser degree – for many years to come. Later in life, as we mature and gain wisdom, we turn our attention and concern to the next generation, and to those whom we share strong empathy with; many of our thoughts and actions are simply part of the life cycle and where we find ourselves within it.
