I do not think an older human can always pass on wisdom to the younger.
Robby22 & others,
I didn't state nor imply that ?

"We don't grow absolutely, chronologically.
We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not
in another; unevenly. We grow partially.
We are relative. We are mature in one realm,
childish in another, the past, present, and future
mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in
the present. We're made up of layers, cells,
constellations ..."

So wrote - Anais Nin.

I can identify with that!
