I have a friend that I call Santa (long story, but easy answer is he has a white beard and looks like the jolly old elf) and I usually go to him for advice. He advised me on something awhile back that I ignored, much to my dismay. While you can’t trust ALL your elders for good advice, those you can trust are worth their weight in gold. Santa is about 20 years older than I am. I met him at a job I held about ten years ago; he was a repairman for the machine I was using, and we just hit it off. We struck up a friendship, and have been pals ever since. I just seem to get along better with people older than I am, and I recognize the value of the wisdom that comes from those types of folks. While he is not infallible with advice, he does have a unique perspective on things, and he has shown me time and again that with age comes wisdom. I have serious trust isssues due to past experiences with folks I refer to as ‘little shits’ and Santa has reaffirmed my faith in the fact that not all people are LS.
