What do you think gets better with age?

It’s presently 07:16 pm and I’ve been contemplating this question all day so I decided to reach out to a few of my contacts for their thoughts. The responses I received were fascinating and reflected the diverse stages of life they are in.

First, I asked a Gen Z friend. Her response was surprisingly insightful: “Practical life skills and emotional understanding”, she said. For someone so young, she recognized the profound growth that comes from lived experiences and the increasing ability to navigate complex emotions and situations.

Next, I turned to two friends in their early 30s. Their answer was almost unanimous: wine. While expected, this response made me reflect on the deeper symbolism behind it. Like wine, many things in life develop richness, depth, and complexity as time passes.

Personally, I believe that relationships and wisdom should get better with age. Over time, relationships can deepen and become more meaningful. Additionally, as we age, our accumulation of knowledge and experiences often leads to greater wisdom.

So, dear reader, I ask you: What gets better with age?
