Why Lust Has Stolen Most of Teens' lives

Helloooooo :)

I decided to blog here (again) because I felt like I wasn't the most consistent human being on Earth :< 

Anyways, I went to the beach on my vacation where I met some friends I knew a year ago. Even though they physically grew due to puberty, I didn't notice a lot of psychological change. For a while, I felt like I was growing 'in the opposite direction' of most teens, but I noticed that this direction might be a better one. Unlike my friends, I had a radical change in my personality while my height didn't grow by a centimeter :)

Surely, I had a great time sitting with them chatting all night in the garden nearby the chalet. However, I noticed how most of our conversations contained the following elements: romance, drama, sex and marriage. Honestly, I'm not the type of person who would be occupied with such things, yet I bothered to listened. Many of the stories I was told truly changed my view about love, but I noticed that it's the only thing they 'developed'.

They get depressed when their ex 'breaks up' with them for the 1000th time. Unfortunately, they got so focused into these topics they hardly have any meaningful connections with God, family, friends, community or themselves. No hobbies whatsoever. 

Because the psychological problem they had was obvious, I tried to grab their attention to it, but they didn't bother hear me for much time. Apparently, I became too 'boring' and 'deep' for their taste, so I stayed silent and engaged into their fun conversations. I had fun, but I felt bad that they were too engrossed into such topics.

"If you can't help someone because they don't want it, help yourself and don't bother."

That's a rule of gold that saved me a lot of time and energy for the past few months.

I need to share one of the stories I heard there that changed an ideology I've always had. If I change my mind or develop any new idea, I'll make sure to update it.

Ever since I was 4 or 5, I was constantly bullied for my unattractive appearance; therefore, I had a mindset that says to never judge people based on their looks or any other materialistic thing. Not because someone is rich or beautiful means that they're more worthy of being around than average people; meanwhile, not because someone is unattractive or poor means that they're terrible people.

I'm not saying that this idea got deleted, but I'm saying that I'm modifying it. If you decide to date someone, make sure that they're not too rich or too beautiful.

Do you agree that most of humans' souls get corrupt with too much power (money, beauty or intellect)?

If yes, you can keep reading because spots will connect.

 Once upon a time, a wealthy man, who has billions in his bank account, got married to a young lady. This lady was definitely above average as she knew 7 languages and was marvellously attractive with her blond hair. Delightfully married, he got many children and...he decided it wasn't enough for his majesty to have only one wife? 

Why have 1 when you can have 2?

Secretly, he married another one and paid her well (even better than his family), and he got a child from the second wife. The family knew, and the poor mother got a heart attack that she miraculously survived in the hospital. The family didn't speak with the father for 2 or 3 months straight, and everyone left the house during that time. Now, everything can be called peaceful, but the 2 wives are having a cold war while the children pay for the loses.

As someone who got to know one of the mother's children, I was overwhelmed by the story. How can someone put their house into ruins in so little time? It wasn't the only story I heard, but that story was the most to truly touch my heart. Based on the things I heard, I drew the following conclusion:

You cannot be enough for someone who has the ability (money, beauty...) to own everything s/he wants.

If he has the money to be able to subsidise 2 families, why not do it? He can have the whole world, so why should he incline himself to 1 wife who is inferior? She's not as young as the second wife nor as rich as her husband.

Personally, I always wanted to avoid such type of 'education'. I view myself as young, and my main focus is my development and my satisfaction. 

Everyone has the right to lead their life in their own way, so I won't judge whatever floats your boat. My own opinion is that these topics need to be included with other elements and interests. 

Never depend on one source of happiness.

Good luck :)
