I have a belief that a more advanced age does not necessarily mean a more advanced wisdom. I have known 16 year olds show more wisdom than some in their 40s, 50s, 60s, yet some believe that their age makes them automatically more wise. Absolute rubbish, lol. Wisdom is in the soul, not in a silly number.

Hmm, not sure I fully understand that. I maintain that I have come across many older people who show a certain degree of ignorance, thus proving that age does not always mean wisdom.. age means more experience, but it is how that experience is used that shows the person to be wise or not so wise. Anyone can have a lifetime of experiences, but not all attain wisdom from those experiences as they do not look at the lessons they have learnt and apply them correctly.

A 16 year old who has done this...had many experiences AND observed them objectively and learnt from them can be far wiser than a 60 year old who might have many years experience, but uses that experience without truly having gotten to the root of that experience.

Sage Advice and insight.

I wish I could take to heart all of the lessons I have learned. Been burned by MANY people because I want to believe in them, but my faith is so often misplaced.

Does wisdom mean an inherit distrust of other's motives?

Asperger's syndrome I have found out causes intense loyalty.

Is this why I put my own motives, thoughts and ideas onto others only to be burned because I would never betray someone whom I trust?

What is wisdom anyway?

Is it actions? Thoughts? Ideas?

Knowing when to act, what to say, what other people really mean?

Sticking with something that is impossibly hard for the greater good?

Putting someone else's welfare above your own?

Wisdom?

:?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?

Something else I have not shown enough of in my 38 years on this planet. I have made so many mistakes and offended so many people without even trying. I am doing my penance right now.

Sorry, :?

I thought you were in college.

While you are dependent upon somebody, make the most of your education so you can choose the job you want instead of just taking any old job, it will make life much easier.


I had a hard time loving my parents while I was living with them. Did not appreciate all that they had done for me until out on my own.

Good luck and hang in there, you can do it :lol:

This is what I think.
I think we are here on Earth to learn certain things which we can only learn through suffering and once we learn those things there is no reason for us to remain here so we die. That is why allot of old people are stuck here till they learn that lesson.

:lol: Deep, thoughtful discussion...and then that. That's what makes me laugh.

On a side note, my fingernails are too long too. I need to cut them tomorrow.
