I believe so, AGE is just a number described upon ourselves. A number certainly for calculation of our existence in this world. Some people are die wisely in their deathbed. While others are done over some regretful things over their lives, and they certainly regret what they had done.

I agree there!
Have come to the conclusion that all "older therefore wiser" means is that they've got more life experience - not that they're necessarily wiser.
While I think there are limits on some things, most often it's just a matter of setting your mind to it and taking advantage of any opportunities that come your way.

It's all in the mind isn't it. You could be a recluse for 30 years and then what do you learn ? The only wisdom you may get is how not to shut yourself and go out and experience the world. It's really the attitude and positive mindset. You can be anything you want to and you sure will be amazing in different ways to a lot of people around you.

Hi Nut Nut, long time no see!
I believe that age brings life experiance but if they dont learn anything from those experiances they will never gain wisdom. I think anyone that learns from their mistakes will live to be very wise when they get older so I guess in that sence age can bring wisdom as long as they are willing to accept it. I hope this makes sence to you, sometimes my thoughts dont translate will when written down.
Hugs, Tianna
