Something someone said earlier got me thinking about the old fashioned ways and the new fashioned ways, one of my friends recently had found herself in a bit of a jam, a bit of a 9 month jam, with someone who honestly should wake up, grow up and be a man, and with the ways she dealt with the whole situation, with such openness to people around her, got me thinking, do we all have that natural reaction to just tell anything to our closest group, because we all want to protect our loved ones from harm and pain?, but are there things we aren’t meant to know and be involved in? Is there a line we aren’t meant to cross? but are unable to see it as the new generation who don’t know any better, I found trying to find some guidance about what to say, what to do from elders, people of wisdom supposedly, was a more eye opening experience, receiving only comments of non involvement and deniability to the whole business, that i should apparently keep my nose well out of it all, but isn’t it in a way, just sweeping it under the rug? Just rather unhealthy, if nobody does anything about the giant pink elephant in the room, isn’t it just a matter of time before everything gets trampled? To me, being part of the younger population I find the natural urge to want to get involved, to want to help and solve all of life’s little problems of the people around me a must, or maybe is it that we feel we have become so co-dependent on everyone else to solve our problems, we just can’t fend for ourselves anymore? Wouldn’t life be a lot easier if it came with a manual, a how to on your problems with a simple step by step on fixing everything that you could do on your own, in that case people wouldn’t have to pair off to fix the broken pipes of life’s metaphorical sink, or maybe this never to exist manual should be more aptly titled, “how to prevent life fires”, so people are able to be smarter, spot the mistakes, and chronic disasters from bursting into flames before they happen, and inevitably scarring them emotionally for life.
