Advice of the Old and Wise

As of June 10 2009

You know how those wise old people get all sentimental and heart warming when they talk about life and how you live it?They say the most important thing in life is to love and be loved in return (moulin rouge) or to experience love and all that jazz.Well honestly thats where they're right.But these old wise men, when they're talking to the circle of children around them, they never mention the fun-filled-facts of what to expect from life.See, these kids, maybe 5 or 6 years old, brand new to this whole concept of "living" are only hearing about the great things to expect from life. But i guess that makes sense because i doubt the "Sham-wow" guy is going to start yelling about how the materials of the "Sham-wow" are some how killing children in foreign countrys , or even worse, you can buy the same "no name" brand for cheaper at your nearest and dearest wal-mart. Might as well go bankrupt, or back in life terms, end it right there at the age of 5.my point is, as these wise old men tell the young about the great adventures of life, i see them fail to mention some of the pit falls of it too. Not the heartbreaks, the loves lost or the fantasies, but the ture reality of it all. Im talking stress!When everything builds up and you seem like you can't function anymore! your Sham-wow can't possibly pick up anymore liquid! warn the kids about stress, stress is the real deal breaker. I can make you feel like the smallest, most useless human being imaginable.So forget the love, the heartbreak and everything else that comes so daintily wrapped in the heart shaped, pink lace box, because thats all the good stuff, the stuff to look forward to, and why ruin it by giving all its secret wondesr away and by just talking about it. Give the kids a taste, a sneak preview, a peak at what is miraculously to come and be the only solution to the stress. Give them a full warning about real life.Why ruin the surprise of love, life and fantasy, when we all know it'll come eventually.First the work, then the play.Love you can walk away from, stress you can't.
