False.
People can change at any time.

cool


The phrase "a fool at 40 is a fool forever" was coined because of some old people

Whatever attitude you master from 18 to 39 becomes who you are for life

There's always to option to ignore some things, act like they're not even in your presence. Not responding to some things is in itself a very strong response.
you can’t ignore everything

What did they do? maybe you are overreacting
Coming125:
When a 70 yrs old man behaves very foolishly, someone old enough to be your father, what do you do? How do you handle it as an adult? You as an adult of say 35-47yrs. Some 70, 75 yrs old men and women behave very foolishly, very irresponsible, very cunning, very dishonest, very deceitful, trying to cheat you, to manipulate you, trying to use their old age to manipulate you or to intimidate you, etc.

The level of crime and immorality in our society is too much. Even old men are not spared anymore. If I continue to write I will spend the whole day writing. Let me just stop here.

Honestly, it's very hard to deal with men who are senseless in their old age

The worse of it is when they're in their 60s or 70s. It's hard to win them no matter how hard you try

That age is their stronghold. They will always manipulate and subdue you with it

This is how I've been in deep debt today cuz I went into a business dealing with an old man in his late 60s last year. Using sympathy and old age to seek sympathy to manipulate me. At a point I nearly strangled him to death in the hotel we both lodge in lafia. Looking back ow I owe deal of gratitude to my wise counsellor Chidi Orji who was on the phone with me all thru calming me down. Maybe I would've been in prison now for murder.

Still respect the 70 year old especially if the person in question is your parent or grandparent. Old age comes with its own challenges.
You are joking, right? So, if you saw your grandparents doing someone criminal, your first thought would be to respect them. undecided

You don't learn to be dishonest and cunning at old age. If an elderly person is acting this way, it means they have always been like that from their youth.

You are both adults, DEAL WITH IT LIKE ADULTS!
But because of their age, use tact, diplomacy and show as much respect as they deserve from you, while being extremely firm.
It is a delicate balance that you must keep fine tuning as they begin to behave better or worse.

Those set of old men that behave negatively I usually refer to them as the ones that has grown old wrongly. I tried by all means to avoid them because if you start dealing with them people will think you are heartless without knowing what they have done wrong to you.

They are just looking for who they will put problem on their head or who will kill them.

I was driving from PH one day, I now encounter an old man at Elele roundabout who was driving against traffic.
His vehicle was a very old litace bus which he used to carry firewoods. He drove and face me directly and was expecting me to drive out of the tar road for him to pass.

Being a gentleman, I now stopped and wind down my glass and was signaling him to clear from my front. Before I could say anything this old man came down and spat directly on my face.

I immediately came down and wanted to teach him some lesson, before I could say jack Robinson a young soldier came from nowhere and gave me a serious slap and started asking me if I want to beat the old man.

Sensing that their Barack is not far from there, I gently entered my car and drove off before other issue will follow.
I know that something negative will happen to both of them because the oppression was beyond reasonable doubt.

See what I mean by how Nigerians are the root cause of the situation in Nigeria? You saw a man driving against traffic. The sensible thing to have done was take down his information and report him to the police so that they could get the nuisance off the road for good. You walked away pretending that the problem is not for you to deal with but what happens when that nuisance kills a child or worse, causes a major accident by his nonchalance? I bet you would pretend that you had no hand in the problem at all. undecided

That ain't foolishness,it's moral decadence. And you should learn not to call older people foolish,it's only when u attain that age you'd know if what they did was foolish or wisdom,of which attaining that age may not be sure of u cos u fit just payin before then
