Wisdom does not come at all, it is sought and acquired.
Wisdom is acquired by being awake not by being asleep or lethargic, by listening and not by just hearing, by seeing and not just seeing.
Remember, what is in front of you is your teacher, be it a person , circumstance or even a bad experience.

I think wisdom does come with age. I remember asking my son when he was very young did he know what wisdom was. He answered, "I'm not sure but I think it's something to do with teeth."

From birth, life has given me experiences that have made me wise.
Some of the experiences did not take, for some reason or another.
If you use the knowledge you are a taker and if you share the knowledge it will be taken.
The knowledge of wisdom is free, be careful how you use it.

Love and Pain, lifes two best teachers. Your experiences in life give you a certain wisdom, age has nothing to do with it

It depends!
I used to think that the older people get the wiser they will be.
But then experiences have shown me that..
every one is surely growing old, but not all is growing up.

No.
Life experience and how to behave in social settings hopefully comes with age, but if there is no intelligence / wisdom in the first place, it won't suddenly appear when you reach a certain age.

Wrinkles come with age.

For some, just wrinkles come with age.
Wisdom comes from many sources and it depends on whether we assimilate this wisdom, or whether we ignore it.
I know plenty of people in their 30s, and 40s that lack a whole bunch of wisdom.
So I think that wrinkles come with age, but not necessarily wisdom.

Once upon a time in functional civilisation then experience did equal wisdom. However, uniquely to our modern epoch(because of unparalled debts, welfare and sweatshop labours)the Western person can be dysfunctional(or at the most, materially resourceless)their entire life and still manage to stay alive. Only in this era can one be reality-illiterate from birth to old-age without dying inbetween.

So no, wisdom does not come with age, wisdom comes with accordance and exposure to reality.
I would also suggest that wisdom is genetically predisposed and this is why the "lemming" and "free-thinker" is not a Black & White status, but a series of gradients between the wise and the decadently silly, even when comparing closely-related groups and backgrounds the diversity remains which means that inborn Human nature exists! We're not a blank slate or mere putty to be moulded as the Fascististically-minded would wish us to believe.

Or at all. Most people grow up and they adopt the broad mindset of the status-quo, now if the status-quo has been proven to be an inept failure - in the way it has so conclusively - then the children are more sensible and correct than the adults.
The child knows nothing and knows that it knows nothing, the adult knows only failed way but actually believes in them - a belief so religious and irrational that they will murder themselves, their culture and their own children in service to their "morality".

And what and who are the judges of this so called wisdom???? Is it out own personal view of ourselves, or other people´s opinion???
Everyone makes choices....only history shows whether or not they were "wise" choices.

No, wisdom does not come with age. Wisdom comes with life experiences, making mistakes and learning from them.

I believe that once an individual actually realizes their mortality, wisdom comes with experience.

A very good question but you've inadvertantly given the answer (or part of it anyway). To my way of thinking wisdom does not come with age but it does come with experience therefore you are both right and wrong at the same time (a feat which in itself is extrordinary).

Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place.

I often share my knowledge and I always say that this is free advise, choose to do with it what you will. Hopefully they absorb it and use it corrrectly.
So yes, I agree with you.
