About This Quote

Growing older does not automatically mean growing kinder or wiser. While it is true that as we grow older our capacity for empathy increases, this doesn’t necessarily mean that we become less selfish or more generous. In fact, the reverse is often the case. As we age, we become more certain of our own understanding of the world and of our place in it, which can make us a little more haughty and a little less willing to accommodate others’ views.
