"In youth we learn; in age we understand". Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

Lately, I think not!

I think not either, I wish I could go back to the ignorance of my youth. When there was no true responsibility and the heartaches were few

Depends on what it is. Some lessons you can't imagine until you are submerged in it.

The more I learn and know, the more I understand what I do not know.

It makes me think of the song "My Back Pages" -
I was so much older then - I'm younger than that now...

I think loss changes the way you process what you know, what you learn. It certainly changes the value you place on what you know.
