You’ve probably heard of clichés that
begin with he (or she is as) “stupid as a….” The statement could end with such words
as rock, mud, brick, a post, or a bag of nails.
Someone who fits this description might
be considered terminally stupid, has little common sense (as opposed to book
sense), or has as little intelligence as a non-living (or unanimated) object, or
has the horrible mental capabilities of a heavy non-human object (as opposed to
the agility of a lively mind).
A good portion of our world today
assumes age and wisdom are synonymous. I would say most the time that is
correct. I believe that true intelligence comes from how difficult situations
are handled. With this criteria, any age can apply.
Chances are we have all met senior
citizens that are jaded, unteachable, not very nice (unkind), possibly cruel, and
regularly say stuff that seems idiotic.
Psalm 92:14 (NLT) says, “Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green.” Adapting to change (at any age) makes
one current, emotionally young, and valuable when the golden years come to
past. If something is important to someone accommodations will happen to reach
the desirable goal.
