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

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.

@Ysa9257 I thought so.. i started to believe maybe it is a bell curve.. maybe it gets better until 40-50 and then it starts to go down..

@Highway I think sometimes people just believe what they want to believe, forget about common sense. Sometimes it get's really hard when you try to give advice and they use their age against you. Like you can't tell them anything. For me, it's like 'Well I figured since you were that age, you'd know better and I wouldn't have to give you advice. I figured you'd be giving me advice.'
