I dont understand why older people use this term. Yes as most of you are older than i am, do we not learn from each other? Being older and being wise do not always go hand in hand. I do agree that as you age you gain more life experiences, but as advanced as the world is now younger people are starting to learn at a college level by the 7th grade. The wealth of knowledge is out there. I dont know maybe i think too much, but i am a capricorn. I tend to over process and over analyze things. So answer me this does older equal wiser? when you get older ou will understand it with the wisdom you get as you age   |

Wise is on an individual basis at any age of life. It takes time to learn things thus you have aged in that time of gaining knowledge... It certainly doesn't mean you are going to retain it or become an encyclopedia of knowledge as you age... but the potential is there, and now back to the individual.

Well they are close enough--  Wisdom- 1. the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight. 2. scholarly knowledge or learning: the wisdom of the schools. |

knowledge is knowing how to put a bullet in a gun and pulling the trigger it will shoot what it is pointed at
wisdom is know what to point it at and what not to point it at or knowledge is knowing something and wisdom is knowing how to use that knowledge  |

I think the older you get, the more experienced you are in life, at living life...
but more wisdom? Naw, wisdom -- if you never have it, you just might never get it... wisdom, intelligence and experience (in my view) are very different.. and the only one that comes with age is the latter... |

its funny how when I was 17 my dad was a complete idiot and didnt know a thing about my life but still tried to tell me stuff
and as I got older he got smarter and then when I hit 50 and he hit 72 I realized that he was right all along and I wished I had listened to him and I could have avoided a LOT of heartbreak and hardship but kids never listen. They have to make their own mistakes or they'll never learn from em |

Bob Dylan
My Back Pages Crimson flames tied through my ears Rollin' high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I Proud 'neath heated brow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate," I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke from my skull. I dreamed Romantic facts of musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Girls' faces formed the forward path From phony jealousy To memorizing politics Of ancient history Flung down by corpse evangelists Unthought of, though, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. A self-ordained professor's tongue Too serious to fool Spouted out that liberty Is just equality in school "Equality," I spoke the word As if a wedding vow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not that I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach My pathway led by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Copyright ©1964; renewed 1992 Special Rider Music |
