I think one of the greatest challenges facing our world now is not about “growing younger,” but about growing wiser…. The world is willy-nilly “growing younger” anyway as populations explode and the wisdom of the elders passes because of poverty, neglect, poor healthcare, decrepit educational systems.
There is the wisdom of youth and the wisdom of seniority. How can we integrate two kinds of wisdom? How do we recognize the place of each, and honor each kind of wisdom?
We need to teach and we need to learn, but neither teaching nor learning is solely unidirectional.
Ditto. Tks for your older wisdom dear Gary. We are searching for younger versions now to be whole.
Greets.
