I get annoyed when someone half my age acts like they know more about life than I do.
They might know more about a certain subject, they might be more or less educated, and they might be smarter. But they will never know as much as I do until they are my age, because I've lived longer. Just as I don't know as much as someone older than me.
But that's because they've done or been through whatever it is. It is just because they are older. They've lived long enough perhaps to feel the consequences of their actions/decisions.
For instance, would you tell a 65 yr old about menopause ? What would you know about it? I don't mean what you heard, or what you read....what would you have experienced of it, that you would be able in your youthful wisdom to impart?

Sometimes its the other way around as well. People older than you act like they know everything there is to know just because they are older. They think because they are older and have lived longer they know best.
right and no matter who you are, the longer you live, the more opportunity you've had for life lessons

Wisdom doesn't just come from age but life lessons too.
