i realized something the other night.  so much of our time we spend figuring out life.  we spend our entire lives figuring out our life.  and then we die.  what do the younger generations learn from us.  nothing.  i've learned practically zilch from older generations.  al you ever hear is "ahh yes being a teenager" or " ahh yes starting to date" or " ahh yes entering college" or whatever ya know.  we just learn it all on our own.  older generations might be good for something like "hey, eat all your veggies" but how come they don't say "hey you will feel good if you eat good" or something like that ya know.  they always say we don't listen but i don't buy that.  they just aren't efficient at teaching so every life starts new and has to relearn everything that was lost in the last life.  if life was like science the wisdom would be passed down and we would advance all the time.... but no i'm stuck learning the same lessons everyone else has already learned and my children are doomed to learn.  just makes you ask what's the point are we getting anywhere and where the hell are we going.
