Wisdom sometimes, but not always, comes with age

 Wisdom sometimes, but not always, comes with age. I

know people in their early 20s who have the wisdom it

took me all of my life to learn. I know people 20, 30, 40

or 50 years younger than me who are wise beyond

their years. 

I remember many things I have experienced in the past

that went wrong due to my sheer lack of wisdom. 

I was book smart, intelligent, could memorize things,

knew lots of details but did not know why things are

the way they are.

Lacking the wisdom of animal nature and instincts

caused me much distress, unhappiness, sadness and misery.

School and formal education taught me nothing about wisdom.
