I can't believe how many times someone has told me that sentence. One example of when someone has told me this is when I heard this joke: Descartes walks into a bar. He has a drink and the bartender asks "Would you like another?" Descartes says "I think not" and disappears. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get the joke. The joke is that Descartes was a philosopher who said: I think therefore I am. If he says I think not, then he would cease to exist. You do get more Wise when you get older, but a lot of young people were wise, like the Buddha. Age doesn't always mean more Wisdom.
I never got the sentence "Do you want a cold one" when I was young. Its from the Coors light beer commercial. When I was young I would always ask myself a cold what? Now I realize that its asking do you want a cold beer. My dad always knew what the commercial meant so sometimes wisdom does come with age.
I have a weird memory, I can remember random things that have no correlation to whatever, but I can't remember any specific time an adult told me "You will understand when you are older". But, I do know this has happened quite a bit. I think the one thing I do remember not understanding would probably politics. When my parents would talk about it, they would tell me "Its and adult thing". Also, I do think that when you get older, (Most people) get wiser.
When people tell me I am too young to understand something my reactions are angry and "whatever". But I guess they are kind of true in a way because it could be like a grown up thing, my sisters are the ones that tell me I am too young then I start getting curious and want to know what they are talking about. If I am too young to understand something then they should explain it to me so I understand but sometimes they just get annoyed and never tell me so it is up to me to figure it out. Age means you have more experience in things because you have lived longer and wisdom is how much you know. What I think is that their is not a relationship between Wisdom and Age because you can be old but not know a lot of things compared to a 7 year old kid on Ellen!! But their can be a relationship. I think their could be a relationship and their can't be a relationship it depends on the person and how wise and smart they are.
Nah! Age and wisdom are different things. People sometimes think that they are wiser the older they get, but, no. You have to have experience to be wiser. I remember being told that I'm too young to understand politics. Look at me now, I know lots about politics. Like I know the values of money that I was apparently "too young to understand".
I can’t even explain how many times I have been told that I was too young to understand something. Especially from my mom. The most frequent time I can remember, was when my mom was telling me something she heard on the news, and then she was like, “actually, you’re too young to understand, I don’t know why I am telling you this”. I understand that there are some things that kids just shouldn’t have to hear until a certain age, but really, if you are going to start telling me something, you have to at least finish your story!! There is definitely a difference between age and wisdom. You can have a seven year old who knows more than a thirty year old. Of course, we assume that the thirty year old would know more, but in some cases, age really doesn’t matter.
I agree, people are quick to judge others based on their age, but what most people don't understand is that all of our brains interpret different subjects differently.
I don't think I've ever accepted when someone told me that I was too young for something. I don't think age is related to wisdom, at all. How do you explain the bad choices of adults like deciding to drink and drive, or drop out of school. Kids would never think to do something like that, witch is exactly why age is not related to wisdom.
Age and wisdom are two completely different things. Just think about it they're even spelled differently. A person can be 35 and graduated from university and a kid that is very intelligent that graduated university when he was 18. Who is smarter? obviously it is the younger kid that graduated earlier because he graduated probably 7 years in advance. But sometimes the older one is right.
In the past, some people said that I was too young to understand something. Sometimes they didn't want for me to understand something so they just said that I was too young. It is mainly my friends who tell me that I am too young to understand something so you cannot hear it. It gets me a bit frustrated and annoyed. I do not think there is a relationship between age and wisdom. I wise man once said "If you have intelligence but no wisdom, what is the point." This means that wisdom is a important quality that not everyone has.
All the time my parents or older friends, or siblings would tell me I wasn't old enough to understanding something, yes I matured pretty late but it doesn't mean I'm dumb and don't know what's going on around me. Honestly there is a difference between age and wisdom because some of the smartest people tend to be younger now a days. But in my opinion I would tell that to my kids to stop me from having to do the wrok that they could just look up online. I mean hullo use you small pea sized brains.
I’ve definitely been told that I was too young to understand something. When I was younger, I would be told that a lot of the time when I would ask someone a certain question that needs a certain amount of knowledge. Which brings us to the second question, “Is there a relationship between age and wisdom?”. Yes, I would like to say that there is a link between age and wisdom, but then again, it all depends on how we interpret things. If we are taught how to read at 2 years old, we could be able to know how to read perfectly fine at 5. Though, even if we try to teach children somewhat difficult things, for their age, it all depends on how they interpret it, because everyone reacts to different things differently.
I don’t remember if someone ever told me that I would understand something when I’m older. My parents have always tried to explain things to me even when if the subject was complicated and difficult to talk about. For example when I was younger and I asked about where babies came from, my mom didn’t tell me that storks brought them, unlike some other parents. She tried to explain more or less how babies were born without going into too much detail. My parents still try to explain to me now when I don’t understand and sometimes my dad goes on and on and speaks for about two hours.. But a lot of the time I figure things out myself. There also is a difference between age and wisdom. You can be old and not be very wise or you can be young and be wise “beyond your years”. So there is a difference. But most of the time you get wiser as you get older because you learn a lot more and see a lot more you look over all the stupid things you’ve done in your life and try not to repeat them.
I was always told that I was too young to understand stuff when I was younger. I would ask my mom what they would be talking about and they would just tell me that I was too young too understand anything they were saying. Now, my parents really has stopped doing that since I am more older and mature. But they still do it sometimes...
I've been told the sentence, your too young so many times within the past year. Most times it was about u a joke someone made, everyone would laugh since they were older but i would never get it. However, this doesn't bother me because I know if I'm not meant to know then so be it! I do think that age ties in with wisdom. This is because as you get older, you experience more new things and you are able to take into account all the good things and bad things about this experience. For example, failing a test, you learn from that mistake. (Not that I have ever failed a test though). All in all, you have to respect your elders, no matter how old they are!
This is a really tough topic. When I was little, my mom and dad used to talk about more mature topics such as voting, death and politics and i would always wonder what they where talking about. I was extremely curious, especially since my sister was older and she would understand. So i felt pretty left out. I think that there is not really a link with wisdom and age because, as people say, grandparents are the smartest and wisest, but i think that is becasue they got to experience the world already. Personally, i have a hard head, i anyways think i am right and I have a tough time believing some things i hear, so i have to experience it myself to understand it fully. So the more you are exposed to, the more you know. But i think when you are young it's good to keep the topics a little lighter to not frighten or expose children to rough topics right away, you have to enjoy being a child, you will have time to be an adult and worry about politics later. Bottom line, if you are really smart and you read a lot and have been exposed to a lifetimes worth of experiences, you can be as smart or smarter than a grandparent
I do believe that when you get older you get wiser because you have experienced more years of school so you have more knowledge. However I do believe that age is only a number and that you can be very young and smarter then a 50 year old, it just depends on how fast you pick up on things and how your mind and imagination works. Every year our family has a Christmas party and most of my cuzins are older then me so when I was younger they used to make a bunch of adult jokes that I would never understand and whenever I would ask they would say "no your too young" or "you'll understand when your older". I would used to get upset because I always felt left out and when I got a little older I realized that they were only doing that to protect me. All in all I beleive that inappropriate humour and adult talk should be kept for when your older but if it's something that's not inappropriate I don't think it's fair to say you won't understand because your a little kid, but you would be surprised at how smart young people really are.
I was told I was too young to understand politics when I was about 7 years old. It honestly sounded like mush. I have to admit it, but, it probably made more sense than the U.S. politics we now speak of. I really don't like politics, it just doesn't interest me, so, politics still kinda sounds like mush. As you get older you accumulate wisdom (typically). However, there are some people who are truly wise no matter the age and some people who are going to be children at heart forever.
My parents always said when I was young, if I didn't understand something, "It's an adult thing. We'll tell you what it means when your older". AND NEITHER OF US REMEMBER WHAT THEY WERE!!! I think age and wisdom have a relationship between them. I mean, usually (hopefully) an 18 year old is smarter than a new born baby. Or a 11th grader is smarter than a 1st grader. It's possible for it to be the opposite, but very rare. I saw on Ellen, a 5th grader was smarter than a guy in his late 30's, early 40's. But very rare.🤔❓➕➖➗❔💯
I'm like Ana here, I'm getting... THE COLD SHOULDER... Get it, Frozen. But honestly my parents always deliberately ignore me when I try to reason with them. They tell me I need to get off the IPad(it's not dinner) and when I ask them why they don't bring up studies or Actual Facts they Bring up urban Legends and old sayings. And they always give me less respect when I talk to them.
My parents and just in general nobody really ever said that to me. When people did say I'm too young I would always be like ok try me am I too young now. Though when I finally got them to tell me what it was I would usually pretend to understand. Though if I did understand it was awesome. I think in a every day bassist wisdom does come with age because you get your wisdom from school and you go to school at either 5 or 6 years of age. Like I said though there are also the very cool and incredible children that are super smart.
I find it really annoying when my parents say your too young to understand. I always think ummm no if you explain it to me I will understand so why don't you just do that. Obviously I don't actually say that because it is kind of rude. I don't think age has much to do with knowledge. It does when your like 3 years old. But when your about 12 years old you understand things more but you don't know everything. That's why people should explain things to you instead of saying your too young to understand. A time that this happened for me was like in November when they're was the elections. I asked my mom why did Donald Trump win If Hilary Clinton got more votes? She said it's complicated you're too young to understand. No I'm not just explain it to me!!!
People usually don't tell me that I'm too young too understand things anymore. When I was little thought I heard it a lot from my family, elementary teachers, guitar teacher and older neighbors. They would always tell me that when I get older I will understand. I remembered getting frustrated because I was unaware of what they were talking about and they didn't care to explain. They instead told me that I was just far too young to comprehend.
I can't believe how many times someone has told me that sentence. One example of when someone has told me this is when I heard this joke: Descartes walks into a bar. He has a drink and the bartender asks "Would you like another?" Descartes says "I think not" and disappears. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get the joke.

You do get more Wise when you get older, but a lot of young people were wise, like the Buddha. Age doesn't always mean more Wisdom.
