Old People - Wise?

[eduardo]

My parents are quite old but what they excel in is being able to spot bad company.

If I bring people back or get friendly with someone they seem to be able to judge that persons character/ motives better than me.

I mean they have my/your best interests at heart and have a lifetime of experience observing relationships so I think where older people are wiser

is in this area. The area of relationships and whether someone is a genuine friend/ partner or not and whether their motives are in your best interests or not.

Just my tuppence worth.

Being wise has nothing to do with age. Actually being older most of the time, tends to have ego of being old and having more experience in life (e.i. famous quote :- dhup ch baal chite ni kite). And when there's ego, we all know what happens. This trend is very active in Punjabi culture.

Nice.

Wearing the clothes of old age automatically qualifies you for respect.

Nice comfortable existance.

Sounds good to me.

Sorry it was a bit of an idiotic post, I wasn't myself when I wrote it.

What I meant is that if you are an old person and just by the fact you are old this guarantees you respect whether you have earned it or not then this sounds

like a nice comfortable environment to find yourself in.

If age equals respect then old people must have quite a nice life within the Punjabi community.

^^^ lol I am not old......

that's what I am saying that if you are old, doesn't mean that you will be wise.....but I have actually encountered these situations, where old people under the impression that they are wise because they are old, ruining the lives of youngsters, which is sad.....
