Ronni Bennett had a posting on her blog that appealed to me and so I added my comment to her question: Do You Lie About Your Age?
I never lie about my age. (68) In fact, I find chronological age to be of little importance and potentially divisive and so I rarely mention it. I'm old, an elder, and any fool can see it. It doesn't necessarily make me wiser, but it helps...a little. I have been an idiot at age 25, 35, 45, 55 and 65. Hopefully I will get a chance to do it again when I'm 75!
No generation has a monopoly on wisdom. And that's my strongly held opinion...until I change it.
I guess that last sentence included the point I was trying to make. I do change my mind. All of the time. I think we all should. No, I don't mean hourly; I mean that we should always be open to change and willing to abandon ideas that no longer work and embrace new ones. OK, the earth isn't flat!
