Smoother conflict resolutions

With age and experience, handling all kinds of conflicts can get a lot better if one pays attention on the goal and less on the circumstances. In other words, we're too often solely focused on what or who is right, and not enough on what's a good and desirable outcome.

Age and experience give older folks a better chance to do just that, deal much more calmly with the issue at hand and far less passionately about the form, the nastiness or the passions surrounding the conflict instead of resolving the issue at hand in a calm, objective and pragmatic manner.
