Summary

In a spiritually sensitive culture, the concept of age is highly regarded and seen as a positive attribute. Instead of viewing aging as a decline, it is perceived as something to be admired or desired. This suggests that in such a society, wisdom and life experience associated with advancing age are highly valued, and older individuals are respected and revered. This perspective highlights the understanding that spiritual growth and enlightenment can be attained throughout one's lifetime, emphasizing the importance of inner development as an individual progresses in age.
