I went to a gathering of old people today. I am an old person and like all old people I am a physical caricature of my formal self.

We might not be brilliant physical replicas but being with a lot of old contemporaries, I realised one thing.

We are wise.

We are also discounted.

And for doing that to us

Younger contemporaries who are full of themselves.

Are foolish.

Because they have to learn the hard way.
