I don’t think old age brings wisdom. It reinforces continued behaviors that have brought a person whatever they define as success. In a real sense, until you get knocked on your butt, you aren’t changing. An awful lot of people just think, it’s getting me paid, it’s getting me laid. I’ll just keep on being me. Once someone demonstrates that some aspect of an individual’s behavior is giving them butt cancer, then they might knock that particular habit or behavior off or reduce it assuming they have the requisite will power. But no. Just having the odometer click doesn’t make you smarter or wiser.
