Some thoughts on adult living

Its hard living as an adult.

1. You have to consider other people's egos (which always happen to be damn big) or you risk having poor interpersonal relations. And this could come at the expense of upholding moral values.

2. You have to suffer at the whims of people at the workplace, the majority of whom are probably very critical, backstabby, and probably cannot tolerate other people's differences.

3. You become obsessed with self-image because of the judgement of others, which could mean the difference between friend or foe, promotion or retrenchment. And u can't quite ask because it comes at the risk of revealing insecurity.

4. Too much that remains unspoken, and trust that is hard to forge. By the involuntary but necessary complication of matters of the self, adults create their own problems, that children won't experience. Bless the innocent and naive.

5. The necessity of constant self-evaulation: both of actions and of values, as the times change. Do the values we grow up with still apply, or should they change with time and space?

6. What do we want to impart to those who look up to us?

7. Asking yourself if you're content or if you're thirsty for more. And of course, eating the greener grass at what expense?

8. Time can seem to run out.

9. What's money worth to you? What's status in your eyes.

10. It takes longer to recover from setbacks. Young hearts mend fast, old hearts can't last?
