Young people, the world over are all in a similar position. We are born, we develop personalities, some of that personality we are born with and some of it is from the influence of other people we know or read about and the things we see. We are all different and we all perceive things in individual ways. We develop passions, love and hate and fear. All animals, on one level or another must have emotion, it is what determines each and every character. But for humans, life is much more complex than the lives of any other animal species, we are unique, our thought processes are more advanced. When we leave school, we leave the sanctuary of our parents home, this is one of the many things we have in common with many other animal species. We have been taught what we need to know so that we can choose a career and become a productive member of whatever community we live in. But there is an increasing number of people who, from their mid 30's suddenly discover what they really love to do and because they are passionate about whatever this new-found thing is, they know they would have excelled doing it as a career. Is this growing phenomenon a result of us having access to so much information, so much stimuli? I don't think it's a bad thing, I think it is a temporary condition that will disappear as more young people, globally, are given access to the information that my generation didn't have such easy access to.
An interesting topic, perhaps? Or is it just pie in the sky?
