Summary
This quote suggests that while wisdom is often gained as one gets older and gains more life experiences, there can also be instances where the passage of time itself does not necessarily equate to gaining wisdom. It implies that it is not solely the number of years that one has lived that determines how knowledgeable or wise they are, but rather the openness to learn and grow from their experiences. Therefore, simply growing old does not guarantee the acquisition of wisdom; it is a conscious effort that one must undertake.
