Young Foolish Men vs. Old Foolish Men

It's a matter of the inexperienced vs. the experienced, old time vs. new. In both cases there are times when young men are fools and when old men are fools. Lack of experience has the old men believing young men are fools and lack of experience in the modern time has the young men believing that old men are fools. In reality, both are fools in their own respect and at the same level due to their own lack of experience. Old men may have lived longer and have gained more experience than young men, but times have changed and what was useful to an old man when he was 20 years old surely won't be useful to a 20 year old now. Those experiences that could aid a man regardless of age that older men may have is the ultimate source of young men's foolishness and the new, modern experiences young men have over old is the source of old men's foolishness.
