The Age-Old Debate

What’s worse than a young fart who thinks he/she knows everything?

An old fart who thinks he/she knows everything.

What’s worse than someone who says that something is wrong and then tells you why? (Okay, this isn’t bad at all. Constructive criticism rocks.)

Someone who tells you something is wrong, and doesn’t tell you why, but instead tells you to refer to something which is barely related.

Okay, even worse is when the person cannot or won’t tell you.

(Heck, I’d rather debate with a twenty-something who at least tells you why your argument is flawed.)

I hate those Chinese aunties in queues and on the LRT (or in BMWs) who think they have right-of-way and cut all of us. All age has given them is an excuse to “tssk” people like they did nothing wrong. And these same people have the cheek to call people rude.

Thank God my mother is not like that. *hugs mum proudly*

I really believe that maturity and age aren’t always connected. Sure, there are some things everyone will learn at the age of 15 in school. There are other things that you might not have experienced even at 25, which some other 15 year old is experiencing right now.

I know so many people my age who have achieved and know so many things; I also know a lot of people who haven’t done or learned anything much on that same scale.

30-year-olds now are not 20-year-olds now, evolved 10 years later.

They’re 20-year-olds from 10 years ago, evolved 10 years later. Different generation, different mindsets.
