Experience Is The Key To Calmness 

Usually, youngsters think old people are not reasonable as they can't think as much about something as young people can, whereas the elderly think the youth to be stupid as they know thinking about something goes in vain. The elderly have experience based on which they know what holds true and what is not, what is worth investing time and energy and what is useless. 

Mind you, here I don't necessarily mean the elderly by age. In fact, those who have wide and vivid experiences of life are the ones who are wiser. We may often see that some old people may not sound as wise as some young boy, it is because the young boy, at a tender age, may have seen a lot of the world, dealt with circumstances and situations. Therefore, when we have met with certain situations, we are not scared of facing them again, we are calm in the face of it, we don't react. The same is true of life as well - experiences make a person wiser and, therefore, calmer.   

There is no use in being a believer. Believers, in my opinion, are far detached from reality and gradually lose the ability to rationally think and question things around them. Such people get so personally attached to their beliefs that some of them may often turn violent on slightest of questioning or critisism directed toward their beliefs - terrorism can aptly be seen as an example of it. 

Believers fail to understand that the almighty that they believe in does not see a difference between a believer and a non-believer. Experience is the key to opening the window of the ignorant mind. Experiences make a person more knowledgable, wise, tolerant, flexible, loving, resilient and calm when faced with adversity.
