Let’s be fair to our youths

AH, the passion of youth. I vaguely remember it. Talking with friends late into the night basking in the glow of an unshakable faith that we can change the world. With only the fire of our commitment and endless cups of instant coffee warming us.  

Then the cold light of dawn breaks and harsh reality in the form of mortgages and car payments slaps you in the face. Suddenly, you are an old decrepit fellow with too much hair in your nostrils.
