Are old people actually wiser?

Whether a person is wise or not has something to do with age, but it not always the case that older people are wiser. Getting older means that people will have more experience, thus have insights into life and the world. The elderly might have already gone through times and things that younger people are about to encounter. However, it is not absolutely true that all the old people are wiser. These days, most employers prefer young employees. Being wise might indicate that people can suggest a sound solution to any issues and make a smart decision. However, it could be also interpreted as being too cautious when trying something, weighing too much and sometimes too passive in a negative sense. Senior citizens are generally respected of their wisdom of life. However, they are compelled to leave the company as they get older regardless of their intelligence, experience, and competency. It’s irony that old people are praised for their wisdom, but in the society, they are not welcomed.

Great Monday to you Sir [이름]!

How was your weekend?

I hope you had a marvelous one.
I totally agree with your ideas that it is not always the case that older people are wiser than the younger ones.

Even here in the Philippines, senior citizens are not allowed to work anymore and people who are about to reach that age are sometimes forced to leave the company. It is sad but maybe the companies are just thinking about the situation of the elderly.

Thanks for your awesome composition.

See you.
