Being smart

People become smarter, generally. They read, meet people, have experiences, understand, pass through life and, likely, they become smarter.

What happens inside?

• There’s a tendency to „know” stuff. „I know what you’ll do” / „I can anticipate your next move”. This leads to either „Hmm, that’s very interesting tell me more” (more interest) or „I’ve seen this before” (boring). Lots of old people are bored. They’ve seen everything.
• Another tendency is to close yourself. You can read more, and you start playing by the rules, and the rules invariably say you should be like this & that, and you start closing things. Liberties get carried away and you, yourself, become boring. Another option is to break any rule which is imposed to you and live free. And the more you experience life, the freer you get. Lots of old people formally pick politeness and close doors.

So, with age you are bored and you bore others. This is about knowledge. Regarding emotions, you become unvivid and closed.

But there are options to all of this and when you notice things, you can fix them.
