Age is just a number.
The older you get the less it matters…
ames, i take it you’re not yet 40…
AOB I agree with you, I dont think a person has to be 50 to give advice. maybe its not as common for someone younger to give advice to someone older but I dont think theres anything wrong with it 🙂
Granted one can learn from everyone, but that does not mean one should seek advice from them. Look at the mifarshim on Navi who discuss the major error made by Rechavam (Shlomo’s son) who chose the advice of his friends over the advice of the elders.
isnt learning and advice giving along the same lines? 🙂
I said I dont know her personally, but generally, be realistic, pple dont go consulting with their younger friends.

Something sounds weird about the words, not sure what, but I did NOT make this up.
~a~
Lol, that’s funny, I left out a letter. It should say:
??? ????? ?????? ??????? ???? ?????
I’m still not sure if these are the exact words but at least it makes sense now.

AOB yes it does, but it boils down to the same thing, getting beneficial information. 🙂
AOB queen kapusta is always right, didnt you know that? 🙂
thats better :p
god, and i thought i had to work on middos?
someone’s got an inflated head.
do you know who youre telling that to? a head of cabbage ;p
I’m not sure if anyone is denying this, but if you think that an older person should never take advice from a younger person, then either you are a wacko or you have never met a smart young person.
We can’t all know everything, which means that some other people must know things we don’t. Age is not everything.
squeak- ahmehn
who’s ahmehn? A cousin?
what was that, areivim?
as squeak said, age isn’t everything. i knew we had it wrong! i’m supposed to be preaching to you!
nice, squeak!
squeak, moish- in my house we say “ahmehn” (vs. “amen”) when someone has stated their piece
moish- let’s go, shoot, teach us something
did you read the deep thought of the day thread from yesterday? i did – you just missed it.
ah, OK, I thought it was ahmehn ibn ahbar
squeak- to prove how slow my brain is: after I logged off yesterday it suddenly clicked what you meant by “cousin” and I then realized how literal my response was. nebach
ok, to answer the question straight:
question: Does age really matter?
answer: YES!
proof: areivimzehlazeh
you’re really losing it, buddy. i’m afraid to guess your age… i probably couldn’t count that high…
You’re all right that we can learn from everyone, but one of the signs of a chacham in pirkei avos is “chacham eino medaber lifnei gadol mimenu bechachma o beminyan”, so perhaps it was not apropriate of you to be giving advice to someone older than you if she did not ask you. I wasn’t there so I didn’t see what happened, just a thought.
