Age is only a number.

And an approximate measure of the gradual deterioration of your body.

And, sadly, the sharper edges of the mind...

... and, happily, the accumulation of wisdom to direct the remaining sharpness ...

Perhaps sharpness impairs wisdom.

So, again, just a number :)

No, I would say you are better able to understand the big picture, but less able to see it ;)

arrogance you mean?

Not just any number. It's the number of whole orbits you've made around the sun since leaving your mothers womb.
