We often here discussion on the difference between wisdom and intelligence, and statements are often made to describe wisdom as something that is gained with age.
Perhaps . . .
Rather, we could also say that we often see people that are "mature" in years, yet lack good judgement about how they act and react to different situations. In saying this, I want my own children to realize that adults don't have a corner of true wisdom. Wisdom can result from a variety of experiences unrelated to age. Whatever the case, true wisdom is realizing that we really know nothing in comparison to what knowledge really exist out there. Furthermore, wisdom isn't simply related to facts and figures. Being emotionally intelligent and wise is also key.
I just hope I am making progress in my own journey along the road of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual enlightenment.
