You don't realize the pain you have lived in until you encounter someone who hasn't
You don't realize the levels you have accepted until you encounter someone who hasn't
You don't realize a lot of things until reality checks in and shows you different. The young remind you of a future that could have been, a wish unfulfilled. The older show you what happens when a dream is put on hold.
But neither show you how they got from point A to point B. Why I can only guess at, but I would have to say regret and shame play a roll, but yet how can one be ashamed of ones kids. For many for go their dreams for the chance of a future, a future embodied in children.
Is that why parents live vicariously thru their kids or others?
Can one blame a person for not committing as deeply? When all is knows is humiliation and degradation?
Is perhaps the "micro-aggression" fad an attempt to bring to light the consequences of a groups lack of an ability to empathises?
Is that why once you hit a certain age you live more for the story than the actuality?
