Is it age or is it time? When a person of advanced age who appears as though their wisdom/growth doesn't meet yours. Your much younger, not of their advanced age, but some how your inner growth has advanced without having their advanced years of their age by this time. It's not about ego nor being better than them, it's a mystical emotional level of knowing that resides within. Age is just a number for this period in time and some reach a level of growth having little to do with the number that they are in this time. Take a new born baby and look closely at their eyes for right from the start you see either complete innocence or a form of wisdom already established deep within their fresh new little eyes. Are these little ones old souls ? If so, their journey of life would make them reach an emotional knowing at an earlier age than some others whom are of an advanced age. It's something to think about because if you pay close attention you will come to see this may be the reason why your emotional knowing of life is at a different level than others and even those of advanced age whom just don't see what you see.
