Adults:Older People

You think you're smarter because you are older. Age is nothing but a number. The fact that you're older only means you are more likely to be oblivious to how the younger people think and what they are going through.
You don't even sympathize. You keep your responses short. You only wait for something bad to be said. As soon as you catch word of something bad, you blow up. You start speaking words that leave the younger one lying on the floor. They are stuck there on the ground. They try to justify their actions, but you aren't hearing it at all. You don't care if they are happy. You just care about showing them they did wrong. The younger person if so caught off guard it is insane. They don't know what to do, or how to react. They just wanted to talk and have someone rejoice with them. They obviously didn't get what they wanted, because you are yelling and knocking them down.
You may be right but you may have just caused this person to stray away from you. They will find someone else to talk to. They will find someone else who will actually rejoice with them. The younger person will always wonder what happened to you. They'll wonder why you changed into the person who is worried about all the actions they choose. They'll wonder how you became all this when not to long ago you were just like them. You once wanted all this fun. You did things, exciting things, and you would leave and want to tell the world.
So why did you change? Did the older people knock you down?
