When?

When we were back in high school, age seems to matter, in a way that we are respected by younger people.

All that changes when you step into the big boys (or girls) world, where age as a barrier has been lifted, and all you see are people who think they are different and independent striving to be someone whom the society will come to accept as a honorable contributor to its wellbeing.

When they think they are different, they really fall back into the same category or being like everyone else.
With age comes maturity
with maturity comes wisdom
with wisdom comes discernment
with discernment comes enlightenment

Yet, in now a "look out for number 1" world, respect has lost its privileges, age has become something to lie about, the fundamentals has changed.

In uni, as long as you don't make the cut into the high and lofty society, you will never be "someone", this faulty thinking brought down countless souls into depths of despair and to paths of destruction. Sad when you think about it.

Let us strive to be ourselves, wonderfully and fearfully made, to not see things as how we want to see it, for it only invites selfishness.

Growing pains lingers past youthfulness.

Lets trade it for something better.

Do not let anyone look down on you because you appear as "no one", but rather, let us take the risk and go for the "unattainable".
