Vanatru -> RE: How can a 21 year old possibly be a Master? (4/1/2008 7:02:05 AM)

I haven't read every single post, so this may just be echoing someone else, but I find it's not so much age that's important as is cultural reference. At 41, I'm going to have a bit different life experience, lingo, and outlook to those further and further in age from myself (especially younger). It's not impossible.... there's obviously going to be some subculutures that would be similar enough (I have a strong attraction to the Amish, other than the religious part). So, for me, age isn't a really huge consideration, but it'd mean we'd most likely have less common ground. It's been shown to me over and over, you can be 40, 50, 60, and older and still be totally immature. LOL So, age does NOT particularly mean maturity or wisdom. Wisdom is acquired by observation, questioning, and perseverance; it doesn't happen by osmosis. I could also understand, because of the cultural reference, someone much younger than me would prefer someone more their own age. They would view, and have different definitions of: maturity, wisdom, responsibility, etc.
