We need to grow up, to get old, in order to have wisdom. Even if we do both of those things, we may not be very wise. It all depends on what we bring along with us as we grow emotionally and intellectually.

You have accomplished these tasks, and we all benefit. The brash youth with strong muscles and no patience for long-term solutions would do well to listen to you.

Thank you for your beautiful and thoughtful post.
