People say that you become wiser as you grow older. That is the usually cycle in life though there are on occasions older people act childishly or repeat the same mistake they made before. That's why in holy Quran and even in bible, God repeatedly mention certain verses again and again to remind mankind to do good and avoid bad things. Man are forgetful creatures.
I'm human too. A man who make mistakes, sometimes unknowingly and sometimes knowingly. I'm not an angel or a robot. Most of the time, I realize my mistakes and try to do the right thing and not to repeat the same mistake.
Everyday, before going to bed, i will try recall all the bad things i did. Usually, people think about all the good things they did but in my case, i will analyze all the bad things. It doesn't mean that everyday i do bad things. I say, if there are bad things that i did, i will try to think back why i did it.
Sometimes, i do bad things on purpose so that other people learn new things in their life or make them a better person. But most of them don't know or realize that, they only see the bad side of you and think what an asshole you are (sorry for the nasty word). Anyway, God knows what kind of a person you are and that matters the most. The intention of why u do some things matters. I have diverted away from the original topic i intended to write..let me bring back to the topic.
I learned and experienced a lot of things in life. One of my friend use to say "what goes around will come around". Do good and good will come to u. Do bad and bad will come to u.
The older you get, u will learn what to say and what not to. But I sometimes say my piece of mind. That doesn't go well with some people. Most people want us to say good things although the reality is bad. I'm not a hypocrite.
What matters most is God knows that you are doing the right thing.
Not many people become wiser as they grow older.

Yup, man are forgetful creatures. And for some, the older they are, they tend to repeat the same mistake especially in treating people. one should not only be more wiser, but also humble as they grow older.
i tend to agree with saturday, particularly on repeating the same mistakes.
i think wise people are naturally humble though because wisdom comes from experiences, contrary to intelligence that comes with a certain ego - sometimes the more you know, the more you think you are better than everybody else, yes?
i just don't understand why some people feel the need to be nasty and wicked to one another to get their points across, if they have any points to begin with. there isn't any harm of being kind. life itself is already complicated and alot of whys, so is it necessary to play God, to play mind games just so to make others learn new things?
just my two cents. have an awesome weekend :)
