As one ages (and we all are) one tend to be more forgiving since there is an experience of what we have seen, that doesn't mean that we stop exploring, it simple means we understand it better (I hope). The best way to see other lenses is to travel and see it from the other side. Don't tell anyone and travel to Moscow, Russia and see with your own eyes, wear these glasses for a few days and you will see. I bet a new perspective or lens will appear. Same with Japan or South East Asia, heck even the end of the world like New Zealand...lol All your lenses will gain a different shade and I think that's valuable.
Never been to Russia but I agree. I was able to travel to a different continent and see a VERY different culture in my 20s. Changed my life and gave me a huge leg up to understanding the world. I agree with you on age with the caveat that its not automatic. Many refuse to learn and would rather think they are right than actually learn and gain understanding.

P.S. It was so good I had to write it down and share with others, so here you have it...
