Our bodies grow old, but our thoughts should stay up-to-date. This may require an open and inquisitive mind that can delete the out-of-date and refresh beliefs and opinions. Many people want to cling to the ideas of their parents and ancestors. New ideas seem to interfere with age-old concepts. Scientific evidence can collide with past notions.
Some ideas from the past are still valid, but many are faulty and obsolete. We need to clean out our closets, keep what is essential and toss out the rest. Some items may have historical and sentimental value, but some things are just worn out and need to go. Easier to clean a closet than a mind.
Just because something is new doesn't make it true or false, helpful or trivial. The same goes for something old. Allow your mind to go forward, grow, and improve. Don't become obsolete.
