On Older Wisdom...

Blog quote #1158... 
"Before you contradict an old man, my fair friend, you should endeavor to understand him."-George Santayana -   

We often are quick to add our two cents or share what we 'know,' or think we know. It appears the author is simply suggesting that there is likely some years of wisdom and information behind the elder person's statements and that needs to be respected. My how much we can learn, from those who have gone before us.  

Good rule of thumb: When younger people are around older people, talk less and listen more- to the wisdom of the elder folk. Hmm...

That's my view...what say you?
