Should you listen to those older and wiser than you?
Does everyone older than you really know more?
Yes and No!
It does not matter if someone if older than you in this life. But, when you find someone who has been there and had a great many experiences in life - in particular, experiences that are similar to yours or similar to something you want to know more about - you should listen.
Not everyone is aware as they move through life. This means that many of our elders don't really understand - they don't know more. Or what they do know is based in fear. Passing on fear to our youth is not beneficial to anyone or to the Earth and nature.
In fact, our elders need to listen to our youth (and all that is in between) just as much as the youth should listen to our elders. Just becasue we listen does not mean that we except every word, thought or feeling. We need to take from other's wisdom and find what resonates within us -- what "ah ha" we can get from it.
So, spend some time with someone older than you AND spend some time with someone younger!!
