One of the great things about talking with people, specifically older people is that it helps us get "outside" ourselves. It's so easy to get caught in the "trees" of life. Having a conversation with an older person helps us to see the bigger issues of life. It helps put things in perspective. In our modern day culture, we don't have that kind of community where older people regularly interact with younger ones. The pendulum of modern society has swung from that of community to the individual and prioritizes youth and beauty over age and wisdom so it's up to us to seek out older people we respect and to pick their brain. They will be more than willing to help and share with you and it often has an effect of helping us "reorient our compass" so to speak so we don't stray too far off course and "hit the rocks" of life.
