You will get older but not necessarily wiser

There is an assumption that as we get older we will get wiser well duhh not exactly true. I’m afraid, we can carry on being just as foolish, still making plenty of mistakes.
It’s just that we could create new ones, different ones. We do learn from experience and may not make the same mistakes again, but there is a whole new pickle jar of fresh ones just lying in wait for us to trip up and fall into.

I believe the secret is to accept this and not to beat yourself up when you do make new ones.

Be kind to yourself when you do muck things up.
Be forgiving. Accept that it’s all part of that growing older but no wiser routine.

Wisdom isn’t about not making mistakes, but about learning to escape afterward with our dignity and sanity intact

It may look line an inescapable loop, yet not impossible to escape. But then we are going to enter another loop and work as hard to escape it.

That is life

At least for me.
