this sounds so lovely and sentimental but in reality it is just sentimental. One only needs to look at our world leaders and the elderly around us to know that this is not true. Age does not confer wisdom on any of us. I wish that it did! No it has to worked for and gthe mind has to be kept open for the possibilty that wisdom might come. Many of the mature are 'set in their ways'. On the other hand, very young children often speak wisely beforee their heads are filled with crap!
