The Older You Get, The Wiser You Get


             I believe aging has more to it than being the number of years past by since you were born and the wonderings of how many more years to come till you reach downhill along with it. Yeah sure, the dictionaries define it as "the length of past life or existence" or as "showing signs of age", and yeah you are right that is what it means. Literally. Look closer and you'll notice the word - Mature. Where has the common saying, "the older you get, the wiser you get" gone? It's more like wise is the synonym for old, isn't it? Is that true?.
             Isn't that exactly why we want to remain being a kid? So that we would be held responsible for being "wiser", for knowing better, and keeping ourselves from doing anything foolish. That's another thing. Stupid = Fun and vice-versa. It's an equation we learn in childhood. Then we are forced to forget it by peer pressure when we reach adolescence. Remember how you avoided doing things that might make you make a fool out of yourself? But even then we still manage a few purposely for fun. .
             You may ask what is getting older, or in this case what is getting wiser, but in that topic, there is a much more emotional and psychological aspects to it, relating to many experiences from life filled with intense feelings and a personal point of view. .
             You make mistakes, and you learn from them, so you don't make the same mistakes again. Usually making mistakes comes with a little consequence that persuades you well enough to keep you from doing it again. That's how you get one lesson wiser every time. Life is full of lessons, whether they are weird, embarrassing, depressing, or interesting. But there are some people who are stubborn that they are unmoved by the persuasions, and makes the same mistakes over and over again. Some people never learn, I guess.
             But I guess my main point here is to show you that through all the experiences in life makes you know more and more and by getting more out of life you have accumulated the knowledge that you could only have achieved to in moment of years, ages.
