We people meet new folks every day and break off our older pals on a daily. Question is, is this really necessary? The part where we lose people on a daily is what is in discussion today. For me, for instance, there are people I thought we were on good terms only to figure out we were actually enemies. Quite a sad affair as a matter of fact. As people mingle, they get to share and experience new stuff they never had a clue about. And here is where growing up comes into ploy. I would believe the moment, one person meets another, there is an instant interest in the person, that is if they attract to you and vice versa. Another question comes out, and we ask ourselves, is this a circle or is it the way it ought to be. To clarify my point, newlyweds are usually on each other's feels, only for them to cut their own throats in the coming years of their marriage. With all this confusion, is it really worth the effort of meeting a new person? Or should we just rekindle a dying flame?
In hindsight, I would say, that meeting new people would be my thing, as there is no pressure or need to hide lies told to me in the previous year by an individual we are not in union with. More so, the relations have not yet been poisoned by societal ills such as mid-life crisis, substance abuse, and even financial woes. In retrospect, working out such issues with a person you have been with in the long term would work best. However, this is not happening in our generation, the millennials, and the Gen Z's. You would find instead they would prefer to wallow with alcohol and ignorance, thus; developing instances of false happiness, which would lead to life issues later in life. We all have to realize that life is a journey and every step of the way counts. If one would let's say, become an alcoholic today, tomorrow they would need money for treating maybe cirrhosis, or even jaundice, caused by the decision they made on day one. In hindsight, all these could have been avoided if people never broke bridges as fast as they do nowadays.
Taking a look at our parent's lifestyle, one would think they are the boring type. Waking up doing the usual day-in and day-out. However, were it not for these simple routines, they would be stuck as we are in these modern generations. Generations where technology has almost savored our modesty. It was the other day I heard a CS in Kenya mentioning that Africa should get their own Microsoft or even their own Nokia or Samsung companies. In hindsight, they would realize this is impossible. Instead, I would have them speak of education rather than competing with first-world global companies. Africa's dream lies with education not starting an African Microsoft company. In hindsight, meeting with new people as opposed to stagnating with old bridges would closely imitate the Western way of living life. In the USA, it is typical to find people quite friendly with each other, eager to learn something new from the other person. And if there is an attraction or even a slight spark, then it is all gears go. As compared to Africa, where everyone thinks that tech is our Jesus, and everyone is stuck on their smart devices trying to break even or even understand themselves better. In hindsight, what Africa needs is a good education, and new circles aimed at developing an individual's readiness for their future.
