there was a teacher who once told me refering to the younger secondary students he was training: "at this age they are indestructable". well i was thinking recently and yeah this is true. and not just physically speaking. from the day we are born till now we are virtually indestructable. any mistake made can be remedied. every wrong decision comes with a get out clause that allows us a second chance. we are born indestructable given nothing extreme along the way occurs. we are allowed to make mistakes. as many as we like to make. we are allowed to stray and deviate from what is seen as the right track without having too much trouble in coming back onto it. the problem comes as time passes though. while we are born indestructable, as time passes we become less and less indestructable. while at the start nothing could hurt us. as the years pass a the bruises start till appear though they still heal pretty fast. slowly but surely we are becoming but mortal men and women. a mistake committed that would have been let off years ago now results in drastic consequences. the ripples of a wrong decision spreads further than we could have imagined. something that would never have happened when we first came into this world. we grow weaker and more susceptible to hurt and pain. we begin to be tormented with regrets that would never have haunted us in the past. thats wha growing up is. thats what becoming mature is. it is learning to make less and less mistakes. it is learning not to repear the mistakes of the past. it is most of all to make the gradual loss of invincibility less obvious and less significant. thats what i think anyway. i'll make every second count; 10:02 PM |
