Have you ever wondered what makes a person wise? I always thought it was time, but then take, for example, a piece of paper. In a few seconds, the smooth white surface can be crumpled i you hands. Irreversibly scarred. On the other hand, a tree takes years to mature. But, they're both of the same substance, of the same mother. So, is it time that makes us look older and more wise, or is it circumstance?
