Late in the day Tuesday, it came to me that the older I get, and presumably the more mature and the wiser I get, the more likely people I meet are to do and say things that strike me as immature or foolish.

Points:

(1) The elder has a duty to offer her or his wisdom as needed.

(2) I must keep in mind:  that person is the me I once was.  I used to act that way.  I used to think that way.
