Seniors

it seems odd to me that people expect old people to become wise, kind, sweet, gentle, rational, etc. in their old age. In fact, old age can be hard, and it takes more and more energy to maintain whatever natural virtues one had when young.

In general, it seems we aging people become more of whatever we were to begin with. There's actually nothing strange in the idea that old people behave about the same way they did in grade school. Some are nice, some aren't.
