It appears to me that people cannot shut up talking about themselves, even if it means coughing up personal secrets. I'm one individual among that bunch as well, so here goes—
In life, I believe, there is something for everyone and each person can flourish in their own desired way. That is why I don't envy or feel jealousy towards my peers for their success and happiness in life, rather I feel content. There's room for everyone to grow without envying each other.
Even though I often act like an adolescent kid, underneath I think like a grown man and I want to cherish my childhood by acting the part sometimes.
I seek validation all the time, from everyone. I mean, when I do something, of course, I want people to praise me for it, why else would I do it? I become sultry when I don't get enough praise and pampering.
Alright, these are the three options, it's up to you to figure out which is what.
I'm absolutely this kid haha I feel happy when people around me succeed and think that one day my turn will come, for the meantime I have to build myself and the life I am dreaming of. But what must not be neglected is to savor the present while still working on the desired state/future.
But all truths in your case eh? Haha I'm confused! Haha
Could be all lies too 😉 haha! You can never know.
That's the thing, how we appear and how we are often may not be the same!
I know! All of us wear deceits at one point in our lives.
I think the 1st one is only true here. Others 2 are false.
No 1:As a human being everyone thinks like that and i know you can't get jealousy of anyone.
No 2: I think you are little Difference in this case than other,you don't act like kid , rather you are an aged person to me.
No 3: And this one is surely lie,why you will seek validation from others. You are a one man army
Haha thank you minhaz. You do think very highly of me and I appreciate that. :)
validation, validation, validation.....
trouble is Amor, there is no wise old man/woman (person)
I never understood what you mean by that line, and subconsciously if I did, I think I disagreed, also subconsciously. Perhaps there is no definite end of a wise person, but certainly, there are wiser old persons.
It is sort of a quest Amor, when I started university, first in India and then overseas I saw often, that many students are smarter than their professors. I have seen that spradically in high schools too, but didn't pay much attention to it.
As I went from one university to the next, all over the world, in various exchange programs, and received many students in many exchange program, I saw this over and over again. Its not that the profressors or teachers are incompetent, they were mostly very good (I am fortunate), but it is not that they were masters in wisdom. Often many students easily outsmart them and was able to teach them a thing or two.
As I joined the work force, I saw gray haired experienced worker/managers are generally inept except a few exception, and the entire industry is actually ran by people just joining the workforce. In other words, I saw experience doesn't mean much, and often overpaid. Wise old men made way too many costly mistakes, and worse didn't do anything at all. Didn't take risk, didn't help others when they could have.
As I myself slowly become a gray haired man, I realized that I am not any better than that new hire I picked up from grad school.
So I don't personally believe that there isn't any wise old man. Your wisdom is special cases, is no better than mine, or as good as mine, Amor.
I see where you coming from with this and I agree. I've also seen this in practice, many companies try to get rid of their old employees and hire multiple fresher at the same expense. While it does feel kinda bad, I guess it's just how the corporate world and capitalism work.
And I never actually thought about this in the way you suggested. And I will agree with the general proposition— to be wiser, one doesn't have to be older.
However, that also does not mean there are no wise old men as we have plenty of examples of that in various art forms.
yes, there are various 'wise men/women' in virtually all fields. But have you met them personally? Probably no. You know them through their work, and that 'work' is mostly superlative and made them celebrities. Right?
Stephen Hawking, take him for example. Superlative right? But a terrible human as per family life, according to his wife.
Issac Newton, the father or physics and mathematics! Terrible investor!! Invested money in South Sea Bubble and lost everything!!
Robin Williams, superlative actor/comedian! Highly disturbed personal/family life lead him to kill himself...
I can go on and on....
If you're taking personal experiences and other aspects of life into consideration, then the young ones in your first example who excel at surpassing their elders in different professions can also make the same mistakes and be miserable—resulting in no human ever being wise, regardless of being young or old.
Of course, if we are to escape from this statement, we can define (or redefine) what wisdom is (because I have a very shallow understanding of what wisdom is and I did not associate it with personal lives and character traits) and then proceed to evaluate the geniuses based on the new parameters.
Yes. So the young ones are not wise either.
So I say ; there is no wise old man. No one is wise. Our wisdom are collective and inclusive and so are our flaws.
Ahhh I wanna say the third one.. :v You are after all my most beautiful angelic mum.
But I am gonna go with two :v
I see! 🤔
I have this urge to say 3....but nah mum is pampered anyways.. So 2 is the truth!
Rest are false? Im not playing two lies one truth.
I think third one is false. I don't think you expect compliments from anyone. As far as I know you are a very wise man.
That's very kind of you Sharmin. Thank you. 😊
just for the gag:P the 3rd one:PPPP
3rd one what? they can all be true and all be false.
the third one is the truth!!!!
Confused between the first two 🤔
they can all be true and all be false. ;)
oitai toh dekhtesi bhai, but a part of me says it's the first, yet the other parts says it's the second one.🤔
The third is definitely the truth
Perhaps. Perhaps not. 😉
the second is true
and the other two? they can all be true and all be false.
well you did mention that you get jealous once a while and you never seek for validation and your age is 16
Third one :-)
Explain please :)
Bhai, I think all are Truth.
Maybe third one -_-
What what? True? False? Every choice is valid.
2 & 3 are lies I guesssssss 🤣🤣🤣
That's interesting! 😅
I am a bit confused with no. One and no. Three.
Then my intentions are right on point - to confuse you! 😉
True that... Ha ha..
You are right, the number one is correct, it is the truth, envying someone is bad and can never bring any good thing in a life of a person.
As far as I know you option 2 and 3 can't be true, no way.
I wont deny nor confirm but you do have a high opinion of me that's for sure!
I think I know you well 🙃
