I discovered long ago that often the young are wiser than all the rest of us put together; thus, the term - old soul.

If your statement is true then my dearest friend, Caren, you once were wise I.e. when you were young, but now you lack in wisdom since your wisdom is surpassed by those who are young today and the wisdom of today's young would be nothing in comparison to the wisdom of tomorrow's young this however, leads us to the inevitable conclusion that one is wise today but tomorrow is a fool!

Experience is a great teacher, and the older we become the wiser ( hopefully ) we become. Wisdom is in the eye of the beholder. Not the purveyor... Really made me think Demetrios,Thank you. I hope I have understood your Monoku ... God Bless ... Shirley

The wisdom that other people provide us with is difficult for us to understand but more difficult is for us to come up with our own wisdom . Nitschke said tha Is better to talk about your own ideas than the ideas of others. Hope now it would be clearer. Also look at Vijay's comment and my reply to Tom. Everything would be much clearer! Thank you!

If one has it--it is felt by others. You always make me think my friend. Beautiful painting of flowers!

A very delicate way to put it my dearest friend, Vijay. If we follow Aristotle's logic we would find the answer. Thank you very much. Blessings

I suppose we don't really know we have it but rely on others to tell us so. Tom

Aeschylus of old would agree with you my friend, Tom but we need new ideas to be born and new wisdom to flourish otherwise we would not advance. Blessings and thanks.
