It is a fact of life and a matter of regular observation that people generally get a solid enjoyment period during the first half of their life until the 40's. This is the period when their physical and mental growths reach the peak and they do not hesitate to make wrongful use of their physical muscle against the weak. This is also their time for making improper use of their sexual powers. Blinded by their youthful might and visioning the death far way off, they feel less attracted to religion and more attached to immoral activities and adventures. For all these reasons, they will see huge accumulations of sins mostly achieved during their 20's, 30's and 40's.

Then follows a period of declining physical and mental powers and fearing nearness of death due to progressive aging, they slowly start to apply brake on their speed at which they used to carry on sinful activities. Now they choose to be religious and less productive of sins. But where will the old sins go? They will go nowhere, they will not go away from you.
