For the wisdom tradition, a long life signifies a person with a good quality of life. A poor quality of life here is linked to violence, which makes the path difficult for those who do not know how to seek wisdom, that is, the secrets to living well. The best indicator of a good life is justice practiced and lived, with gray hair as its outward sign. Here, there is a call to respect the elders of our communities, since they are the living symbols of a journey traveled and life experiences that should not be underestimated.
