thoroughly jaded by
all these Adults' blatant
and appalling ignorance
that my conclusion is this:
the world is as difficult
a place to dwell in
because
screwed up Adults set the rules
to the operation of society.
it is in our culture
to respect people who are senior
because we are expected to
give them the benefit of doubt
that they are Older, Wiser
and therefore Will Make Better Decisions.
sadly and realistically,
age and maturity
seem to be mutually exclusive
in many cases that i have
personally encountered with.
some adults live 40, 50 years of
life being absolute
wastages of resources
since
all these consumption
have not done them any good
in terms of coming
closer to a Thoughtful Way of Life.
i, at 20,
don't claim to be all worldly wise
but at the very least
i am pretty well versed about the
theory part of how to
avoid being a wreckage.
which is more than i can say
for some of those
adult-wreckages.
i am a firm believer
of not attributing
all things bad to the
fault of the person-
i know that environment and
circumstance play a role in
screwing things up.
so to me, the state of the
person is not of
cardinal significance,
rather,
it is the attitude and
principles that one chooses
to adopt that makes the difference.
some adult-recalcitrants
live in this endless cycle of
Terrible, they
1) refuse to admit that they need
to solve the root problem,
2) expect that people are obligated
to clear the mess they've created
in the name of Family/Friend-foreverness.
2) refuse to help themselves,
3) refuse to come to terms with
their inner demons and
make an effort to be slightly better.
and then they
will have the nerve
to gripe excessive.
they are the
freakinn epidemic that
spread this Terrible
family to family,
generation after generation,
and maintain
this broken mess that this
part of the world is.
so
i don't see why
age should automatically
render you greater respect.
many people are just not
worth the while.
