Do you think a person's comprehension and discernment get better with age?

Hmm one would think so. Although some have more of a natural ability/gift of discernment that starts at a younger age me thinks.

But I don't much believe the cliche' that 'wisdom comes with age'.

It's lifelong experiences where you've done that, been there can make an older individual seem they have it together. Which in many ways they do. But we're all human, no one is perfect and we make mistakes. Everyone has a past and were raised differently which can contribute to how we end up when we're older and hopefully wiser. lol

Yes. I think it's normal to assume that the one experience someone has the more baggage they'll have to face problems they encounter. Though it's not a linear process, and everybody has their own pace.

probably... though the challenges of wear and tear and genetics with health traits can dampen the fun of it all...

with experience there's a plus but some of us don't age very well, shame.

Yes, in most cases, I think so.

I'm not sure if it's a general trend to be honest. For some individuals certainly, but I know plenty of older people who act like fools too.

It depends on the person. Because I know some older people who still act like idiots and are surprised when their poor choices have the results that they have.
