Wisdom does not automatically accompany age. I know people who are just as dumb as they were twenty five years ago. Age does however offer a new perspective and an opportunity to reflect upon change. It’s down to the individual whether they choose to do this or not. I happily admit that I have shed a great deal of my nobler ideals over the years. I'm no longer passionate about many of the things I was in youth. I also tend not to get angry or irritated by things any more. Getting mad is not good for your health and seldom solves anything. Also why hand someone the ability to push your buttons on a plate. For me age has brought equilibrium and a degree of contentment because I don’t give a shit about lots of things any more.
