 No, pastorally it's not the way it is art. People do not mellow and mature and get gentle and calm and compassionate. On the contrary, they don't. Except some people do. Well, then maybe there is some hope for me because surely those things are occurring to me. Those things you described as I grow older are occurring to me. I know they are. And what God must do in your case, in my case, in every case when he wants them, he must purify the rust in you.
