Each person has his own time on earth - some more and some less. And while the generations go on, the people in them change over and over again.

It's not uncommon for ordinary people that their memory, eyes, and perception are failing to work properly in their old age. But what to do if it happens to a person whose age does not lend itself to the words "old" or "young"? And if they are old, then it is time to prepare for the ritual of rebirth, isn't it?
