      How Do We Decide Who To Listen To?

      – What do we lose when the voices of experience grow quieter?

      – And do we always need to listen to the elders, or are there times when new ideas, even from younger voices, should take the lead?

      – How do we decide who we listen to, and when, in a world that’s always changing?

      • the elders should be listened to and consulted. The experience and wisdom is a foundation to make decisions- otherwise it’s not grounded. A common thought with likeminded people based on a foundational wisdom is necessary. Eat ground with those who have teeth.

          @AgyaKwadwo I really appreciate this perspective, especially the idea of wisdom being a foundation.
          Can you help me understand this part better; “eat ground with those who have teeth”… what does it mean in this context?

          @AgyaKwadwo I’m also thinking about something…
          What happens when time, new experiences, or even modern influences shape or shift the thinking of elders themselves?

          How do we then discern which wisdom is still grounded truth, and which might be outdated or influenced by changing times?
