Read the book of Proverbs. It is an excellent treatment of this subject.
>>> The fact is that not only do people get more wise and more conservative as they get older, they get more kind and more generous, too
[Sorry for the generalized statement, but here it is.]
Most young people are consummed with self (I my me mine) anyway. But as we grow older, we truly realize we get lots of help from others along the journey, and we can properly give thanks AS WE SEE FIT.
Not the robbery by the gubbmint, hence we grow more conservative than when younger.
It is why media and the marxists condition young children to not believe or respect anyone over the age of 30 (in media and their books). Wisdom can only come with experiences and reading Great Books.
It is why phonics was removed by John Dewey in the 30s from American schools and replaced by ineffective “phonic” systems under a pretense to appease parents. It is why schools teach tripe and useless ideas-—to destroy and waste children’s time to make them think reading is boring and force them through mass brainwashing to believe in Marxist philosophy (atheism).
Even Confucius and Socrates knew that people could not understand reality until after the age of 30. It is very rare for someone to be wise before this age-—and if they are, they have deeply read about the experiences and life of great men.
It is why all media denigrates old people and makes them appear bigoted and useless when they are a trove of wisdom. Marxists are afraid of the Truth.
Wisdom can’t exist in Marxists societies because people would be too wise to be made into slaves and believe The Big Lie.
and this: The youth in college today are taught that we older people are milking the poor, taking from the youth, etc. Why does no one challenge these ivory tower empty suits regarding their top-salary jobs and low hourly work week? They require their assistants to teach many classes for them, prepare lecture notes, grade papers and tests, but they cash in on the money. Then they denigrate the rest of us who worked hard, sometimes several jobs at a time, to make it. I remember my naive days, as well. But those days brought me to a quicker understanding of how things work, having grown up in IN, then moved to NYC to go to nursing school. Common sense returned quickly after 6 years in NYC and I then became a republican. Life experiences there taught a lot of lessons about reality.
Over time,they gain knowledge thru experience.When persons are young and have been brainwashed by libtardism, they have a distorted and perverted view of reality, but they don't realize it, because they have been absorbed into the libtard system.It takes time and experience to escape from that system. Some,like many rats, never escape.
Excellent article.
