This is not about age. Time served on the earth doesn't mean you grow in mind.

And this will be my mantra.

Nice mantra :) Something I need to keep in mind when I'm dealing with ignoramuses on messageboards who don't listen to what I have to say because I'm 21!

I like it too. Where is it from?

It's from the Creed song, Signs. A good thing to repeat to yourself when parents (or others) condescend you for being younger than them. :)

Exactly! *beats head on wall*. It's just, like, one can't help having only 20 years experience of the world, and of course one's opinion is different to someone who's had 40. But that doesn't make it any less valid, at least IMO. In some ways, we've had far less time to develop our prejudices and get set in our ways.

I really hope I remember that when I'm 40 or 50.
