It is a matter of attaining some maturity which is not often done in life before having walked through a lot of broken shards and learning from the scars. There's quite a lot of antique babies around these days.

Between the fact that some people will never mature regardless of age and the other... that young people rarely understand that those older than they just might have some wisdom, it is scary and it is why we're staring WWIII in the face. At age 18, a sophomore in college, I saw Jimmy Carter's lack of maturity on a TV debate and I knew at once that I would never vote for him. I have never been a liberal and with all my faults, common sense came with the package at birth. It is why I am the family scapegoat, LOL!
I have been that which was appropriate for every stage of life and I am grateful to have survived long enough to have gotten smarter because it is entirely normal to be an idiot when young.
I am certainly not a conservative and I am a strong supporter of the ideals of the Western Enlightenment. It is just the tragedy of human life on earth that history is a cycle and there is no permanent holding onto moments of time of unique wisdom.

I so agree. Our wisdom goes-away when we do and history repeats itself.
