One thought on “Do you think age and wisdom are linked? Why? Why not?”

Ageless is just an identifier that helps right size perceived ideas of wisdom really is.
“Agreements” we have learned through our society’s stories have painted a picture of wisdom as the something given to the “old” – the elders. “She is wise for her age”. So we grow up assuming wisdom comes to those who are older.
I believe wisdom grows as we grow. But that is all relevant in time and space and the individual. We are all born with wisdom. Age and time has the ability to hinder it if we let it.
