Being the same

I hit the gym for a short while this evening, breaking a sweat, just about, but not overdoing it at all.  This may be some kind of wisdom with age thing going on.  Although not all older people are wise, mostly people don't change much, they have and keep the same personality traits.  It don't matter if they are high powered or just a Joe Blogs.  However, if someone is young and stupid what's the odds of them turning out to be older and wiser?  Me thinks, the odds are, stupidity is some kind of genetic thing and it will persist regardless of age.  Especially where it is related to a trait of personality.  I heard once some where, don't ask me where.  I heard "we are slaves to our habits" which is what our fundamental personality characteristics are all about.  However, there must also be examples of people in the world who have changed their personality and improved, just as there certainly are those who have got worse.  Maybe we're all relatively stable within a degree of variance.  Which goes back to the original assumption. 

An arsehole will always be an arsehole.
