As we grow older, we gain more experiences, face different challenges, and hopefully learn from our mistakes. But does age really make someone wiser, or is wisdom more about how willing we are to learn and change? We've all met older people who keep making the same mistakes and younger people who seem to understand life surprisingly well.

Do you think wisdom naturally comes with age, or does it depend more on the lessons we choose to learn?

Yes. A lot of times when you look back you always think “If I knew then what I know now, things could be different”

Yes. Because we learn and discover new things everyday as we grow, growing older can make someone become wise, only if you are willing to learn something new.

It is expected that as one ages, one must have gathered so much experiences that would help them to be wiser. Many people actually stop t learn from those experiences as they are age and get wiser. There are also many people that don't learn from those experiences as they age. Those ones would never be wiser as they age.

No, it doesn't. I've seen old folks grow old being fools. When I hear them talk, I would be wondering how they survived that long.
