Of course, age is one of the factors but is not the end for achieving either. Also the fact that there could be more than one view on the same subject can not be ignored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784443761996549041.post-39358854611345134282007-06-29T09:21:00.000-04:002007-06-29T09:21:00.000-04:00A man is wise with the wisdom of his time only, an...A man is wise with the wisdom of his time only, and ignorant with its ignorance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784443761996549041.post-15184666949627036872007-06-29T09:18:00.000-04:002007-06-29T09:18:00.000-04:00i am in agreement with anonnymous...i am in agreement with anonnymous...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784443761996549041.post-56074469312424385442007-06-29T02:50:00.000-04:002007-06-29T02:50:00.000-04:00well, there is a very thin line between the two. e...well, there is a very thin line between the two. every teenager thinks that he/she has seen all the latest version of world and the seniors are simply outdated versions. and the seniors think that they have seen too much of the world to really become a pope for 'pravachans' to the youngsters. but rightly said 'wisdom lies in discovering yourself first'-age does not matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784443761996549041.post-1213215697900819102007-06-28T19:42:00.000-04:002007-06-28T19:42:00.000-04:00You probably mean, "Is wisdom directly proportiona...You probably mean, "Is wisdom directly proportional to age?" Of course, the ansewr is no! First of all, we need to make a distinction btween wisdom and knowledge. Just because a young person is more computer savvy than an older person, it doesn't mean that the former is wiser than the latter. Second, wisdom, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
