The older you get, the lonelier you become?

Have you experienced meeting the stereotypical get-off-my-lawn grumpy old man? As we get older, we sometimes wonder whether we are growing to become one of them. With age we gain experience, but also pride, ego. We become less and less able to listen to and accept others' views. We get worse in empathising with others, especially those who are younger. That's why we keep complaining "Young people these days... "  

Stay a child. Be curious. Ask questions. We should be getting better and better in developing interesting and meaningful relationships. If we feel lonelier, then the problem is with us.
