I do believe it’s possible, although the older we get, and the more life experiences we have, I think it gets more and more difficult. Life happens and often times life is hard, which tends to make us more and more jaded as we age.
I would say yes, in your heart you can be full of life and longing to go on living and loving forever…even when the body is feeling aches and pains. Wisdom is not exclusively a possession of those advanced in years, but life is a great teacher. I think those who are truly wish know we are just little children and we have so much to learn!!
But what is always a little disturbing is when you see young people, people half of your age, who don’t seem to understand the value and import of kindness, empathy, compassion, respect, honour….and more. I have to mix fairly regularly with some young people who often dismay me by their attitudes, speech and behaviour. I am blaming TV and social media for a lot of what they think is “cool”, but is actually cold and callous.

Yes. I work at this everyday but I believe I have the wisdom of my 73 years and the inner child still is laughing inside.
