The Zoo

The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them he becomes and adult...
-Alden Nowlan

That being said, I think some people can live through their lives and never become an adult.

but I would say that to forgive is kinda far out, rather one should learn to accept that everyone has their flaws. Surely in a person's transition to adulthood they're gonna meet some bastard or bitch who seem to enjoy ruining other people's life for no apparent reason.. Now if you read that and went, 'yea there are fuckers out there who just want to make things difficult for other people' you're probably an adolescent. Now I don't care if you're 40 years old and reading this, you're an adolescent. =p

We have to change our perspective a little. People don't actually want to make things difficult for you. (unless they hate you and are out to get you, which must be partly your own fault that someone hates you.) More often is that, people want to make things easy for themselves and end up making them difficult for you. The classic, ignorant baffon, self-centered selfish chap, they never get anywhere.. Unfortunately, the World is not black and white.. and being too nice also gets you no where.

Everyone is flawed. The hardest part is to see past their stupid actions and realize from a different perspective that maybe they aren't so bad after all. but like I said it's hard and sometimes (from my perspective) impossible. So I guess that makes me an adolescent.
