Does being older mean you're wiser?

There are many ways that teenagers can have more wisdom in certain situations. For example, I'm sure there are more people under the age of 25 who can wire a car stereo better than people older than 25.

However...there is a greater probability that when you find a person with more experience over a broad spectrum, they will have acquired that wisdom due to more experience. Over a broad array of categories, you will obtain more experience in more things as the number of days you live on earth increase.

Just like you, the thread starter, will learn to type better as you get older.

Very very true.....some of the most intelligent people I have met...don't have an ounce of common sense.....OH...how I could tell you stories..

OH, it's all subjective anyway.....OH how I hate that word.. 😄

Yes, I've spent many years doing stupid stuff, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, saying the wrong thing to the wrong person, and just generally f*cking up, and I'm still alive. youpi

If I made it this far, I have to be wise.

You start off as a wise-guy, and if you survive, you drop the guy and just become wise.

what problem? it all depends on the situation. some people have the wisdom when crossing the street to look both ways first. some dont. thats the difference between a sound and unsound decision in a particular situation.

But on a bigger scale...like to start a war or not to start a war.....to let your best friend die or to let 20 strangers....its not that easy.....and I wouldn't call someone that looks left and right on a street wise.....but that's just me

Now why are you gettin all serious.....But...I think that's where you have to disconnect with yourself for the greater good....But it would depend on the situation.....I think....I would.....Do what ever the right thing was.

I've killed before.... 😄 I killed a mean rooster....I stabbed it with a knife when I was pms-ing...like really bad..!!!

Not necessarily at all.

really disgusting....but what is "right" is not objective.....which means to do what is "right" does not really define wisdom since part of the definition is not defined....

i see the point was missed completely.
i didnt say that looking both ways means you are wise.
i said the looking both ways is a WISE DECISION.
you are totally mixing up concepts. but to argue your point,
i will say that the biggest fool is capable of making a wise decision,
while the wisest of the wise is capable of folly. there is no point
going down a tangent of attempting to find some formula which solves
the question of who is wise and who isnt. thats completely subjective.
in the eyes of some who are younger than me, i am an all-wise guru, while
in the eyes of some who are older, i am a young naive fool. so anyway...

as far as making decisions on whether or not to go to war, the sound decision is one which is not made in haste, passion, and certainly not one to fit a hidden agenda (jab jab 😛 ).

many times there is no right or wrong decision, but the wise decision is one in which knowledge and one's own sense is applied to reach the conclusion which seems the best. by 'best' i mean having the best chance of solving the problem, whatever that may be. is that clear enough?

It is better yes......that could be called a wise decision...although looking right and left isn't really a "wise" decision...not to is just so stupid that it makes doing it seem wise....

But ok your point is...ok....very subjective but at least something...
