Moshe Rabbeinu taught us that Hashem alone holds the key to life. Even
one as great as a king cannot control his life-span.
The older talmidei chachamim become, the wiser they become.
Conversely, ignorant people become less intelligent as they age. This is
because one’s character traits become more deeply ingrained as he gets
older, for better or for worse.
As long as a person lives, he can change his ways and improve. This will
not be possible once he reaches the Upper World. Shlomo Hamelech
depicts this graphically in Kohelet, in his statement “A live dog is better
than a dead lion.”
“Moshe went and spoke these words to all
of Israel”
(Devarim 31:1)
