which brings the question then, what do you need wisdom for at that age anyway

Wisdom is for the young. You wouldn’t believe the wisdom the 10-year-old kid next door has. He can build a brand new working computer straight from spare parts from Radio Shack whereas myself at the age of 65 still has my VCR clock flashing at 12 o’clock!

I laughed way too hard at the last panel.

Sometimes less is more to people over 70 (like myself).

My mother said " getting old is not for sissies"

Oh no Aging ? Can modern medicine fix that? Yes!! but it’s not covered on your insurance.

When you see as many Presidents come and go as I have you begin to wise up with a curious combination of hope and despair.

Unfortunately, not everybody gets the “wisdom” that comes with age. In our culture, it tends to get drowned out by constant exposure to advertising, flashy media and overwritten by Internet conspiracy theories. Wisdom is distilled contemplation.

I’m pushing 83, and laughed out loud when I read this. Spot on!

Very clever and very funny, “process of elimination”…

Yes, aging definitely messes with the elimination process.

Tom’s nailed every single aspect of ‘wisdom’ ♥ Thanks — I think.

The Velveteen Rabbit… though that’s more about the power of love than wisdom. But perhaps they are the same thing.
