Rhetorical
The world isn’t what it seems. Very often, one seems to be moving, only to realize later that one is trapped – in a certain era or certain attitude.
People adopt a certain way to handle the world that which is believed to be the best but what is not obvious is that as the world evolves, the method of survivng becomes outdated.
Soon, some of us find ourselves stuck in a rut. We find ourselves strangers to what was once familiar. We remain outsiders amongst the people around us. And then we find that we are the only ones left at the end of the day – alone.
Were some instructions not passed down that one becomes oblivious to the changing trend? It must have been so inconspicuous that the changes became such stark shock decades later.
The way that was adopted to handle certain things, certain people no longer applies. The principles that you used to hold so dearly are no longer important to people. People see things differently. Some things that were of value are no longer valuable.
But there are some who seem to get it so well. They adapt & follow quickly like a fox.
Is it a case of the world becoming more tolerant that some things don’t matter anymore? Has the society become more hardhearted than before?
Later.
I think people are more idealistic when they are younger and after many years of hurt, they become more “pragmatic”. I thin kit is kind of sad.
On the other hand, people seem to change on a decade by decade basis: when they are teenagers the know everything and their parents are old fashioned; then in their 20s they see the foolishness of their youth and have now found the right path; then their 30s, they have finally matured; then in their 40s they have another revelation, and so on and so on until they are no more.
