Older people love telling you how the world "really is". I don't know why, but they somehow have this sadistic desire to dash your fantastical hopes into the ground and bring you into this dark place they call "reality" in which older people proceed to form VERY boring, predictable, and completely career obsessed circadian rhythms. They tell you to grow up and "get a life". They use words that should be in air quotations without air quotations. They like to nod aimlessly and make shallow and meaningless conversation. They enjoy pleasant activities like taking strolls and reading quietly beside the fire. They try to convince themselves that they are happy.
They are, in fact, not.
Don't grow up. Please.
