All joking aside, the adage with age comes wisdom is very much a misconception. I've definitely seen cases where just the opposite occurred. To me this especially seemed to be the case during the pandemic. Psychologically, it seems a lot of people didn't deal with the pandemic very well regardless of age. Not that I'm a shining example. But at least I didn't go off the deep end like I saw some people do. Families were broken, friendships shattered. It was all worse than I might have imagined. Without music, it would have been much harder for me.
