“As I near 60 years old, the expiration date has come and gone on any of my youthful indiscretions,” Taylor told the Nashville Scene when asked about the unsolicited nudes allegation. “Whatever story you think you’ve got, my wife is well aware of, and we’ve worked through it a long time ago.”

“My God and my wife have forgiven me, and I would consider everyone else doing the same,” Taylor added.

Spot on! Youth should power and drive the future, the elders should avoid the pitfalls they made themselves.

We have 21-35 year olds holding important political seats, while a council of elders can give them historical context that they've personally lived through. Maybe they each hold a special title relevant to their lives like "Advisor of War" who's actually a war veteran who's seen the cost of war and what damage it can do, and understands tactical strategy
