I used to think and believe
people who are older are
smarter and should know more.
Shouldn't they be?
They should have more experiences than I did.
They should have seen more than I did.

I came to realized
it’s not all so true after all.
They might have more experiences than I do.
They might have seen more than I do.
But that doesn't mean that they are smarter
or have better solutions.

As I grow older,
I came to realized
being smart and being wise
are two separate things.
You might be smart,
but doesn't mean that
makes you wise.
Or vice versa.

I have met a lot of people
who have been through a lot in life
but not wise enough to learn
anything out from it.
They thought just because
they have been through life
they know it all.
But the fact is,
they keep going in circle,
not understanding why.

I have met people younger,
who are so amazingly wise,
said profound things about life.
I have met people older,
who makes you listen to them,
just because they are older,
said superficial things about life.

So, my understanding of age is that,
age is just but a number.
And it could be totally meaningless.
It is basically just a number
that says how many years
you have been living on earth.
It does not mean that as the number grows,
you become smarter or wiser.
