C'mon Bilqis! A three year old child and a 40 year old adult. Who's had the greater oportunity to gain knowledge through experiences and apply that knowledge in the way we call wise?
A wise youth is one who has maximised learning from minimal experience and a foolish old man, one who has learnt little from a plethora of days alive. No, age does not mean wisdom, but a lot can be learned from listening to those that have walked paths before us. One thing I've noticed about the Singaporean culture, is that they respect age and the wisdom gained through it, far more than western youth obsessed culture.
