I’m also considered old and I now understand what my elders used to tell me when I was younger … I feel just as dumb now as I did when I was younger … it’s not a lack of intelligence … it’s just a realization that no matter how much you try, there will always be someone smarter than you.
If you ever do find that you are the smartest person around, you’re probably closer to death than anyone else.
Just because you’re old, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re wise.
I know lots of older people with years of experience that are just as dumb as they were when they were 18.
I would 100% agree with that.
