why Understanding gets a Little Better with Age

Understanding, like good Wine.

I can not pour grapes into a bottle and call it vintage. It takes time — not just to sit, but to transform. In the same way, I believe our understanding gets better with age because life needs time to ferment what we’ve been through into something we can actually taste.

In my younger years, I try to make sense of things too fast. I want to bottle it up quickly — fix it, label it, move on. But age , a teacher in  the value of letting things settle. It slows the spin. It teaches me  that clarity comes from process and not all pressure.

And just like wine, the longer we live, the more our raw moments start to take on depth. Our challenges mix with our insights. Our mistakes begin to mature into lessons. What once felt random starts to reveal its own blend of meaning.

Understanding isn’t just about collecting facts or experiences. It’s about how they’re distilled over time — how we come to respond better, listen more, and let go without losing ourselves.

So I think understanding isn’t poured — it’s pressed, aged, and revealed through what we endure and how we grow.

If that idea is reflective , stay around —  keep fermenting your own clarity. Life, like wine, gets fuller when we give it time.

Until next time
