Re: what's our niche in a child-liberated society?

Though I have never noticed anything that suggests 40 yos to be generally any more "emotionally" stable than 20 yos, I would much agree that they are statistically often much more FINANCIALLY backed than most 20 yos (as I know from my own experience as well as my observation of plenty others). It's just the general truth that one becomes gradually more wealthier as they become older.

In fact on the emotional issue, one at forty is more vulnerable to becoming emotionally unstable than many 20 yos, especially if he has been struggling all his life with things such as impoverishment or being perhaps a persecuted outcast, as well as many other possible factors that could lead to a strong sense of mid life disillusionment. Whereas a 20 yo, while perhaps being shitted off with the deal he's been given to him in life, may have far more of a sense that "hey I'm still young enough, I think I may at some point be able to overcome my terrible plight with both some luck and some effort. *fingers crossed* " (as I myself used to feel when I was that age)...well, the dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity:(

Contrary to popular belief, "mid life crisis" is more often to do with an accumulation of despair and sense or realization of hopelessness and failure to have "pulled out" of the situation when younger. The widespread condescending propaganda that has for long tried to claim that "mid life crisis" is somehow "hormonal" is just like the same kind of condescending propaganda that teen rebellion is also due to those "raging hormones". The more accurate fact of the matter why youth in their second decade of life may act out rebelliously is simply to do with with a sense of frustration with the attitudes and actions of molly coddling parents and/or youth oppressed social laws. This rebellious reaction is a resulting cause out of wanting to break free from all this, and to break free from the nest and make a life of their own. In societies in which adulthood status was granted at age 12, rebellion of youth was next to non-existent.
