The older you get the more discerning you become around what is worth caring about.

I think there's a middle ground. Very young people are inexperienced but old people are also manipulable too. Probably the most fruitful average ages for doing the right thing are between 40 and 65. I think there are a lot more exceptions for older people than younger ones.

To put your sentiment a different way: The older you get, the more you realize you're a surgeon who should potentially only 'cut once.'
