Yes, age does affect mental activity to a certain extent but the more I meet the elderly population the more I realize that instead of being wiser they are actually getting more adamant. For example, when an elderly man decides to stop medications saying, "I know my blood pressure is now normal, I have checked, then why use medicines?" Despite logic and counselling, elderly people are adamant to change their viewpoint. Is age the only factor behind this change?

This general fitness thread covers all aspects of fitness, including workouts, nutrition, wellness tips, lifestyle changes, and fitness advice.
As I grow, I feel myself becoming more wiser. However, sometimes I also feel that I am becoming more conservative as I grow older. I think old age brings wisdom as well as foolishness.
Definitely wiser.
I get mad less, fall for fakes less, and care less about thinks that don't need to be cared for as I age.
At 20, I was gullible and easily emotional. At 40, I'm pretty content with life and I think things through before I get too bent out of shape.

I feel that this is true for pretty much everyone, because through learned experience, we
as we gain the intuition to know what is right and what isn't.
Two years off, but much the same.
But, there are times when I can snap. It's typically due to extremes, though.
Bad drivers is really the only thing that makes me snap.
I'll cuss them in my vehicle but that's as far as my road rage goes. They don't even see me cussing them, LOL.
I can deal with bad drivers quite fine, probably due to the lower speed limits and more reaction time.
The ones I can't deal with are the idiots that lane split and still think (they do, blindly) that they have the right of way, but my car dealt with one not too long ago. A story for another day.
Even people that are foolish as youths would also grow old one day. Old age would not make them wiser unless they desire to. But for people that have already had the traits of wisdom as youths, they tend to learn and grow wiser as they age.
