This afternoon, I had a long and interesting visit with someone from my past. Wisdom is born from experience and she has both. I thought of other elderly people who have shared their stories with me and I thought of the saying : "The person who considers himself too old to learn something has probably always been that way." There is no end to learning, and therefore no ultimate goal to be reached when it comes to wisdom. Admitting that when one is eighty eight years old, and still has not figured everything out, is indeed wisdom.
