In the Abraham was pleading with God to bless him. These were the words he said master of the universe if there is no such thing as old age, a man and his son will enter place, and the people will not know who deserves more honor, they will look the same , there would be no difference between an immature, child and mature man who is a quiet, a certain level of intelligence, experience and wisdom. That is not good. If you will be so kind, crown us with old age. Put a little white in the hair, Make a person look a bit older, more distinguished. Then others will be able to differentiate between them and know to whom to give greater respect.

In the book

He is, at the root, good — and it is the nature of one who is truly good to want good for others; He genuinely wants you to succeed, to live and to fly in the best way you can. Even the patriarch Abraham, our tradition says, stood and pleaded with the Master of the universe as with someone present and listening. Our tradition counts it among the very first obligations simply to know, in your bones, that there is such a God — for what gives any law its real force is never the rule itself but the living will standing behind it. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
