Change comes with age in my experience. Like any teenager I thought I had the world figured out at 16, and then at 20 I still thought that, but I also thought that 16 year old me didn't have a clue. After 20 the gradual realization set in that I don't know everything and that world issues, big or small, always have multiple points of view. Now I'm pushing 30 and I laugh at 16 year old me for how clueless I was.
I now look at the world like an old man, seeing all the conflict that goes on and shaking my head at it because it all seems so fucking meaningless and I don't feel like wasting any more energy on even thinking about it, let alone debate about it. Then I close the blinds and play videogames. That's the one thing about me that will never change and the one thing I will never stop debating on.
