Are you the same at 31,41,51,61 and so on as you were at 21? or even 18?

I would have to say NO you are not. Obviously you have went through life experiences and changes over the years to allow you to grow up and develop into a responsible adult, or a least I would hope responsible.

So for example if you at 21 or 18 made an bad error in judgment because of lack of knowledge and experience should you still be punished for it or judge for it when you are 31,41,51,61, and so on? Or should it be chalked up as lack of knowledge or experience?

I know that if someone at 21 told me what they believe in and why I would not toss it aside and completely disregard it, but I would think "if you were my age you may think different"

I read about a 21 yr old making a mistake and getting charged for it, doing the time for the crime, but not able to pay the restitution in full as of yet because of many reasons and because of such they have not yet been able to get a pardon, but even to this day they are still judged for what they did back then as a young and ignorant adult. Just to let you know this person is now over 31 by some years.

I did not explain what they did for a reason, I do not want biased opinions. I simply want to know, are you the same now as you were at 21 or 18?

and if not why? and if so why? and should you be judged for it now?
