One of the good things about getting older is you find you're more interesting than most of the people you meet.

Depends how you look at it... you could be saying... what have I done with my life, times running out and I haven't done this or that, I'm to old now body parts let me down, so I'm never going to achieve what I intended to when I was younger.

The difference when your older is that your much wiser and would not make the mistakes that perhaps a youngster would make, which kind of defeats the object really, part of the fun of doing things is messing up sometimes.

When your older you see what might happen, which stops you from venturing out or doing what ever it might be, years ago you wouldn't have cared.

Some older people are very interesting and fascinating to listen too, but not all.

In all walks of life no matter what their age there are varieties of interesting and un-interesting people, depending on the kind of life they have led.

You do get a free bus pass though...

Old age means you have lived a long time.You have experienced the joys and the pains of life.

If you are lucky ,you have met interesting people who you have learned from.

You should be ,by all accounts, done with silly issues ,you know who you are and you have a good sense of where you are headed.
The quote indicates to me that an aged person gets what is important and what isn't .

By the nature of aging ,most people who are your peers are long gone and these youngsters are less interesting because they don't grasp what it truly important in life.

You may find that you're more interesting but that doesn't mean that you're more interesting to others! Old people have more experience of life but they are often boring because they tend to talk too much about what has happened to them. I know - I'm one of them :)
