¿Experience, Is it worth anything at all?
¿Vale algo la Experiencia?
Why don't we all die as in "Soylent Green"? That way, our existence will be at least worth something to the future generations. Why don't we die as in that other movie in which everybody knows beforehand that their existence will cease at exactly 35 years of age? It seems to me we are going that route already.
I can still remember my early youth days, when everything seemed so easy, I felt I could eat the whole world in a bite, or I could drink the whole ocean in a drink shot. I remember I myself was one of those who say "Please leave us, the young generation, to learn by commiting our own mistakes" while deceiving my parents and teachers as I considered them to be old minded.
Nowadays, when the time has come for me to try and share my very own life experiences, I face the very same reaction from today´s youth. Is it perhaps that we humans are never going to learn? Is it perhaps that the life cycle, the development stage, is open to youngsters only, unexperienced by definition? Is it perhaps that when a former youngster acquires life experiences will be ejected and become undesirable only because he/she is "old"?
Oh, I wish I should've paid more attention to at least one eight of my father's advice to me!
