Abstract
To ensure that we both respect the education our years have given us and that this learning does not simply end when we die, it is essential that we understand wise aging and we are able to share, even teach wise aging to the generation behind us. The topics identified as fundamental to implementing that form of growing older are the core of this discussion. This presentation will be limited because understanding needs time for discussion, questioning and exploration. Author’s goal is to raise questions, perhaps even confusion. Confusion has been described as a very high state of mind. It is the state of mind that occurs just before enlightenment. With confusion, we ask questions. The questions asked and explored lead to learning.
