Us Old Folks
A blog I recently responded to stated that old folks know better because they have lived through such and such.
I’m 60 years old so I know more and am wiser than all you young folks. If you want to know anything, just come and ask me and I’ll enlighten you. I don’t want any of you claiming something is true until you clear it through me.
Now I know there is at least one lady in here that may be older than me. I will only defer to her. So if you need to make any truthful statements make sure you first clear it through her or me.
He didnt state it in the blog itself, it was in a comment reply to myself. I completely understood his context even though we disagreed. Your initial approach on that blog was wrong. Please dont drag this out into another shit fight that shouldnt even be happening in the first place.
I do need some counsel from someone who is older mainly because I want to avoid making mistakes and get ahead without going through the whole trial and error thing and having to look back one day and think, if I only knew then what I know now.
yes, I am always trying but counsel from someone who’s been there can be worth it’s weight in gold… well, to an extent ’cause we all have different paths.
I never said because I was older I was smarter…I was stating that I was alive when Iran fell into an Islamic Dictatorship…just forget it. You just stay on your porch and I’ll stay on mine. Lets not share opinions anymore…You came to my house and insulted me. I’ll not lower myself to do the same.
There has never been a human being who was capable of learning vicariously through the mistakes of others, regardless of the wisdom involved with these ‘others’.
We take their words of advice with a grain of salt, and it goes in one ear and out the other, because we always imagine, in the end, that our situation or reasoning skill, or whatever the f*ck, is uniquely suited to make theirs not apply. And we lead our own footsteps into our own ruin.
I am saying this. There is not the slightest need to have it validated. Everyone knows it’s true, and it will not stop even one fuck up from fucking up, even if they have the reincarnated Confucius, or Harry Potter himself as their advisors.
That is all.
Age does not necessarily equate to wisdom or even common sense. I have talked to 70 year old people that did not know the capitol of their own state let alone recognize that all muslims are not terrorists…
At the same time, I have met with 30 year old people that have a profoundly informed world view that would take you aback in pride that there may be hope for the youth of this country to not drive this country into the ditch,
Age is significant only if the aged person actually paid attention to the world around them as they came up thru the years and events.
I have always deferred to my seniors as I grew when it came to world views and historically driven ideals…some of those people were illiterate dumbasses that I now realize were full of shit… 😈
What month were you born? I may be even older and wiser? 😉
Wow! This is the second “ask me anything” blog I’ve seen today!
What did the 60’s smell like?
Where do my socks go to when they disappear from the dryer?
Love how the comments twist into a life of their own. 😉 If age always equaled wisdom my Grandma woulda been the guru of gurus. Except they took her teeth away those last few years cause she was a biter. It made sense to me cause she slapped folks around, all nice, when she still remembered social inhibitions.
Where is my remote control to the tv?
Does the Muslim Brotherhood run the whores on Broadway and Market here in St. Louis? If so, is that girl Ramonas’ real name Ramone?
Okay Dad. Falklands War. What was the name of the British flagged Destroyer that was struck by a French made “stick” missile and sank after all efforts failed to put out it’s burning aluminium superstructure?
Bonus—What was the French model name of the missile?
