Does age bring wisdom and can one assume that older is generally wiser?
December 8, 2016 3:48 pm at 3:48 pm #1197443zahavasdadParticipantyes and no
Yes that they have life experience
However
Older people can get jaded meaning they might not be open to new ideas especially when they are nessasary.

For this reason, I think it’s unreasonable to assume that an older person is wiser than a younger person, since the variation in wisdom among people is so broad.

Others become ????? (sleepy, lethargic, unaware).

I noticed a surge in wisdom at the age of 38. I was assuming that it has to do with the fact that it only takes women 12/13 of the time to get to Bas/Bar Mitzvah, so proportionately it works out about the same (assuming that the surge in wisdom didn’t happen on my birthday).
I have also noticed a fairly steady increase in wisdom ever since. I think it’s connected to life experience.
But some of it could have to do with a person’s particular life experience and what he/she happens to go through at different stages.
