Are Old People Really Wiser Than Young People by tunaguy(m): 8:28am On Jul 24, 2014 |
Some people just live life and ignore the lesson that life can teach you, and some people are just retarded. Therefore, wisdom is not gauged by age. Yes, old people have had more time to accumulate knowledge and lived in a time where wisdom was more openly praised and less materialistic. Too bad some people are brainwashed into what the majority believes is true and don't take the time to free their minds and let reason and logic rule their lives, instead of common beliefs. So, the only contributing factor to the wisdom of old folk is time (or the accumulation of knowledge to be exact) If a young person searches within his own thoughts and remembers the lessons life teaches, then that person can be just as wise as any older person.Older people have grown up a certain way, although they've been through a lot more than the younger generation, some of the younger generation know more of what's going on in the present. The older generation and the younger generation have different perspectives on life, as shown in the commonly-used quote: "When I was your age, ____." Older people may know more general stuff about the world, but the younger generation is learning more about the specifics. |

That's a gross fallacy of ignorantia and generalization...old people don't got sh1t but experience,reason why cus they have been existing before you came onboard,as a younging trying know more about life,when you study harder,make empirical researches and translate hypothesis to facts/myth,tell me you not gonna be wise and smart or you not attaining wisdom okay let cite an example,I'm a younging following christ whom my parents and grannies been telling me about but me I study hard and harder to get to know socialization made Christianity that sacred and God skipped pass the church to get to me so when they be saying anglican,catholic,baptist,apostolic,redeem etc,these sounds like game to me but my parents still believe in the in what they believe in,As it stands experience is mere teacher while knowledge and wisdom is power but remember they say prevention is better than cure experience like knowing the cure while prevention is having wisdom to not getting victimized...peace out!!! |
