Words of past wisdoms

a wise man once said..
i dont use cocaine, i just like the smell of it

Lately I've been thinking....

Why is it that the older you get the wiser you become....? If anything the older you are the more you don't know, question or can't think about. As we get on in years our thoughts and ideas become clouded by various biases in our lives, creating a tainted point of view. As a child it seemed as though my imagination was limitless, I could create and think of anything without bias, without prejudice and without discretion. Isn't that immense amount of creativity and original thought the meaning of wisdom? 

But whose to say....

My modern society is hurting,
suffering from a plague worse then death,
the horrific illness is ignorance.
In a society that respects and praises materialistic possessions and things,
and  where we shun intelligence and reason nothing can arise,
all progress is halted. 
We are stuck in a void of failure.
As humans we are the most obscure entities created in our linear world,
a place where a mans worth is measured by his wealth,
and the blood of a terrorist is worth more then the ink of a scholar,
yet we are given a great weakness,
this flaw is a strange and irrational thing....emotions.
These destructive ideas are what will cease the advancement of mankind,
and will lead to our most certain end.
Where morals and teachings are what determine what we will be in our minuscule lives
we are forced to satisfy our own greedy needs,
then to focus on the advancement of our species,
and so there is nothing left for us to look forward to,
but the controversial ideas of a radical thinker.
