To be honest, I think, religiously, most people do. The first third of your life is spent finding out what is out there. The second third is solidifying into your selected doctrines and dogmas. The last third is finally letting Jesus reach you and Him dissolving much of that "Frozen Chosen" attitude.
I hesitated to post under Tinkerbell's post. The older I get, the more I realize how much I DO NOT KNOW things. I used to think I was pretty sharp, but I realize I have not arrived, and never will on this side of eternity. I am HOPING that in Heaven, those of us who would like to be perpetual college students and learn will be able to go to classes (I realize this may be a description of Hell for some people).
I'm kind of chuckling at the ages posted. Those years I was referring to when I was so much younger and more foolish in my thinking were my 40's and 50's.
For me it has been my emotional and intellectual and spiritual state.
I am more cynical, not overly cynical, just I was not like that when I was younger. I also pick up more accurately and quicker what people are about. I have a much clearer picture of what life is about. I have also learned I can't do much consistent good on my own. I need Jesus. I am more content now. I am ten times more sensitive. Last, I have a sadness and weariness about this world I did not have when I was younger.
Listen to my music post "Lion of Judah"---- I believe it will do something in your heart---- music is by Glory of Zion---- I was in Dallas a week ago and heard them preach and minister...
there's but one highway for the Spirit, and that is High-way-heaven-bound,
and
there's but one highway for the Body, and that is High-way-south-bound...

There is a song I used to like when playing the video game guitar hero called Im on the highway to hell and back then I sure was.
But now I sing a new song called I'm on the highway through hell to heaven
I got a bit more.. well haha serious.. I was always very light hearted and careless. believing nearly everything someone told me and not even talking about speaking up for myself. I got more serious and try to understand stuff and what doesnt make sense, doesnt make sense and done. And I actually speak up for what I believe and dont hide.. I dont get as hurt as quick as I used to.. Im much different the more I think about it

As I've aged, I have grown to appreciate my loner personality. I didn't like it when I was young and I tried to fight against it and be part of the world, but as I've grown and aged (notice I didn't say matured), I've come to realize being a part of the world is not going to take me where I am going in life.
One thing I guess most folks see as a change as they get older is the way time seems to go by faster.
That has happened to me well that is it for me I guess concerning a change.
I will add that I have learned some things that has changed how I conduct myself .Sometimes words can hurt more than a punch to the face . Another is I never learned anything when talking.
Blessings

One thing I find difficult to manage is that people see me as old. I still have a mental picture of myself as a younger man, only to be reminded when I look in a mirror! I find it odd when people offer me a seat on public transport. I think i can also
add most of the things others have already posted to my age experience.
