Certainly.
The Indian Hindus used to say that there were 4 stages of a man's life.
During the first 20 years or so he grew up, learned a trade, and became ready for adulthood.
In the second he made a living and raised a family.
Third, he learned a spiritual way of life, and
in the fourth, he taught it.
The second stage is where people get stuck. It's all about "stuff", making sure the other guy isn't doing better than we. Competitive, Mercedes-Benz autos, shirts with horses on the front.
