One thing i’ve noticed is the bigger you grow, the smaller you try to be. This is something we’re not born with, but something we learn through living. As children we occupy the world’s space, we make ourselves the center of the universe, that is all we know. We’re not concerned with anything else other than us. We’re small in every other aspect, but in our minds we are the biggest. Our needs, our wants, our requirements is what is important. We hadn’t learnt the taste of the disappointment yet. Then slowly, no one realises when, we find out the universe doesn’t really care about us much, and honestly, neither do most people. We become the last things to consider, even in our own minds. We learn whats its like to survive in a world with billions others. Adulthood teaches us how small we are, how our struggles actually mean nothing in a wider scheme of things. And as we grow more older, we learn to take up less space, learn to be less of a bother to other people. Elder people who, according to capitalism, are dependants, they try to make their existence as quiet as possible, lest they be seen as a burden. Those same elders, who once were so small they believed the world to be theirs, have now learnt how to swallow their own hopes and dreams. Its a tiresome and sad process. Yes they might be 70, but they are now made of much less matter.
