When you face serious issues or decisions do you look for advice from the wizened, experienced, older person, hopefully expert on the subject? Or do you look for youth with education, intellect, and “fresh ideas”?
I think some situations call for one, some for the other and often perhaps one tempered by the other. I am not, admittedly, expert in many serious, exceptionally important areas. In these I want help and advice. I’m not opposed to youth who obviously have limited experience,but may well have expertise in the area of concern. On the other hand, one with years of experience may or may not be able to give valuable advice according to what that experience has taught them.
I have to determine whose advice is valuable! How do I decide? All I can do is to fall back upon my common sense and reasoning ability, guided by my morals and ethics. There is but one source of moral and ethical guidance which is Gods’ Word.
Unrelated but current afterthought: Does Dr. Christine B. Ford, in professor mode, teach with the same scared little girl voice she used to testify in the supreme court justice hearings?
