có lẽ do nghe kém, mất thính lực,
vì khi không nghe được hết người khác nói gì, ta tự bổ sung thông tin lạc quan và gán những đặc tính tích cực cho người đang nói/bàn cãi... :)

Dear Dan,
As I’ve aged, it seems to me that the people around me have become kinder and more thoughtful—and, in response to them, I’ve become more liberal and compassionate. What drives this change?
—Pete
I’m not sure what explains your increased compassion, but it’s very much to your credit. I’ve seen the same thing with my aging father: He’s become a lot kinder. I could suggest that long experience breeds wisdom and appreciation, but another explanation keeps nagging at me.
Maybe it’s about hearing loss? Perhaps when we can’t hear everything people are saying, we fill in the gaps in an over-optimistic way and end up attributing more positive attributes to the person on the other side of the discussion.
Then again, I know plenty of other people who have gotten crankier as they have grown older—and perhaps that is related to hearing loss, too.
