Mindsets do change though as you gain experience and dare I say maturity, it's just the human condition.
I don't think anything like I did in my 20's or really even my 30's plus you do get a little jaded as you grow older, as you can see the same **** going round and round. Thing's can get a bit 'samey' that's the kind of thing you overlook, don't notice or remain blissfully unaware of as your younger self.

It can be patronising even if it's not intended to be. Our views are, in my own experience, influenced by our experiences in life. People don't necessarily have to be old to have experienced more (although it undoubtedly helps). I've known young people who have experienced a lot more than some old people I know, and I know old people who have experienced a lot more than most young people I know.
