we change for people who tell us what’s cool, what’s not, what’s in and what’s out. I guess we think just because they appear to be so sure of themselves and the world, it makes whatever they say right. But by being so passive, we have only given them a sense of authority, and suddenly our own values and morals no longer matter. Even if we say it’s not us that changed but everything around us, we are only blinded by the fear that we did push away our past, in hopes of a better status in the future. Yet those that actually put forth an effort in an attempt to advise us for the better, we reply with silent actions, silent words. We acknowledge them as fools, for we think whatever they keep trying to embed in our lives is something we are already so certain of. Then we find ourselves at rock bottom, suddenly contradicting everything we so eagerly claimed we had already known. That’s the funny thing about life. We realize things aren’t always as they seem. Sometimes, fools are a lot wiser than we have given them credit for.
