The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often, cynicism is confused with wisdom, and my scorn is confused with a knowing, which I don't have.
The old idea that you grow wiser as you get older, and you learn from your elders, is actually completely wrong.
I associate wisdom and grace with age.
Much of the wisdom of one age, is the folly of the next.
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
With age comes common sense and wisdom.
But I believe the older I get, I'm wiser and I train smarter.
When we looked at the life cycle in our 40s, we looked to old people for wisdom. At 80, though, we look at other 80-year-olds to see who got wise and who not. Lots of old people don't get wise, but you don't get wise unless you age.
As one grows older, one becomes wiser and more foolish.
With age comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself.
