It appears some are concerned about an older adult owning power. What I have experienced is that age plus experience can equate to wisdom. While it might be possible for a 16 year old to know some things, it they survive, when they age, they will acquire more knoweldge and experience that will temper how they perceive the world and others.

Every older adult does not have dementia. It is not automatic.

I had to repeat the other day that I have been doing this 42 years. I know what I am doing.
