I was on the phone with someone a few days ago, and as we discussed business, he told me about someone else (a younger person we know) who did something ridiculous without considering the security implications.
We were having trouble understanding why this person did what he did and how ridiculous it was, and we all laughed about it, but on second thought, so many people have done so many reasonable and unimaginable things when they were younger.
Youthfulness is accompanied by exuberances, and we would not realize how dangerous they were until we had passed that stage and began to imagine what would happen if the consequences of previous actions followed us.
There are so many young people who have tried so many crazy things in life, and it is because of their age, which is the age of exuberance. People tend to snap out of exuberances as they get older, which is due to their increased awareness of reality in their lives.
However, one thing we will never lose, regardless of age, is our ability to love.
A young teenager or young adult may express love in a ridiculous and stupid manner, whereas an adult may not express affection or love in this manner, but it is nearly identical; it is not logical, sensible, or calculative.
When I was younger, I remember people crying over love, having sleepless nights and heartbreak because someone they loved did not love them back, or because the person they loved could not be together due to life's complications. An adult or a teenager It is possible to feel this way, but it is usually reserved for teenagers or young adults because it is their first rodeo experience.
As an adult, I used to laugh at some of the ridiculous things that young people do for love. Perhaps it is because I am not a Philistine, or because that is no longer my priority, all because my life realities and priorities are different from others.
This is not to say that I have or have always had a stony heart; I grew up as a regular teenager with feelings for the opposite sex, and it is shameful to recall some of the things I did, but I believe it is far worse in this generation.
We now have 13 and 14-year-olds who are unable to eat because their hearts have been broken, and people who commit suicide because the love they feel is not reciprocated. It no longer feels like a harmless feeling; it is now judgmental, vindictive, and revengeful.
People no longer choose to walk away; instead, they choose to stay and endure the toxicity, pain, and harm.
Love is a beautiful thing when experienced properly, both on the surface and beneath.
It is also one of the most rare feelings. For me, sacrifice, empathy, and compassion represent the true depth and meaning of love, rather than the definitions we commonly see on the internet.
What we see on the internet is a commercialized version of lust. People simply express hormonal feelings as love, and because they lack depth and substance, they become vengeful and distasteful.
Mismatch and differences
Because the world is full of mismatches, only two or three percent of the people on the planet will feel the genuine thing and have it reciprocated to them. So many people believe they want to find love for the wrong reasons.
The world has 8 billion people, but many people end up alone, regretful, loveless, and in pain. Why? Because of the world's segregation and compartmentalization. The world is designed to limit rather than bring people together.
Race, gender, financial status, health status, and a variety of other factors all play a role in limiting opportunities. At the end of the day, many people will choose whatever option is available to them because they are becoming too old or lonely, and then hope they did not make the wrong decision.
This is the era in which we look at what we believe to be the right decisions, make them, and then hope we have not made a mistake. You may be lucky or unlucky, but for many, it is now a game of dice and gambling.
