As we mature, do we become more inner focused and less of a servant to the whims of society and popular culture?

Justine’s question about not going out for the sake of going out brought a few thoughts to mind. As a young adult I had to be on the go all the time and hang out with my friends all the time. Now, I can see 50 from here, and I really don’t give a crap for the bar scene. Is it our maturity that makes us appreciate the quality time that comes from peace and quiet? Or is it time to start researching the nursing home guides? It’s a light question, don’t take it too seriously.
