In early childhood as in late adulthood, ambitions and superficial social roles simply don't exist. Like a child who hasn't yet experienced the pain or injustice of the world, the senior citizen is often able to simply accept the world at face value and not become wrapped up in the complexities and iniquities that can be so distracting to the masses. With this story, the first ashram and the fourth ashram meet, and two people who seem to have little in common discover just how the cycle of life ultimately comes full circle. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
