And some young people are very wise. Adages sound cute, but they're not always true. Life isn't a Hallmark card.

Getting older simply means you've had more time to figure out your issues. Unfortunately many people never work on themselves so they miss the opportunity to put the time to good use and gain nothing. My Dad was like that. He died at 65 and was still very self centered and immature.He never really grew as a person at all.

There is always the exception to the rule. Some people fight wisdom as hard as they fight old age. I guess it is their loss because if they would accept some wisdom they might be smart enough not to waste their time fighting old age because it is a losing battle.

The saying is "With age comes wisdom" Not old age! We the longer we are here, the more we learn, thus the more wisdom we accumulate...

Because wisdom takes effort. It takes noticing and thinking and remembering and recognizing similarities. Most people think that kind of thing is work - and most of them are too lazy to bother.

Some people aren't getting better, they are just getting older!
I always heard "you don't get old by being a dummy" but I beg to differ. Sometimes the people just get older and don't get wiser.
But remember we are talking about humans here, and anything goes!

Because many people are too stubborn to learn change or ignorant to what's going on around them in the real world.

understanding comes from undesirable reviews that one adventure in our existence journey. all of us have met numerous stupid previous offended human beings in our lifetimes yet commonplace reviews does help older human beings share there reviews with youthful people who then think of, guy this guy is sensible. a smart guy or females has numerous understanding with existence reviews is what makes someone smart.
