Being 31....It's only now where I am realizing about certain aspects of life, or more, these are being revealed to me by me living and experiencing that part of my life in order to actually see it.
That's what I really am talking about with listening to these children, yes we should listen to them, but at the same time. We need to give them that guidance that they do not yet understand and won't until they experience life.
I won't know anything about old age until I actually get there and experience it for myself, but I can understand on how it is by talking to the older people and seeing how they are feeling and learning what got them there in the first place.
Point being, even at the age we are, we don't know certain things. And listening to a child can help us also understand things that they are going to have to inherit from us, based on the decisions we made that they will have to deal with. Hence, living for the benefit of our future, the generations that will come after us, and what world they will inherit.
That is something we should be doing without the need of One Special Girl that spoke to people on the media. Just listen to your own children, and they will tell you the same exact thing as Greta, if they are also concerned about it, and being at the age Greta was given that platform to speak on the media, of course they will have concerns as that is when humans start to become Adults, although they are not there completely yet, they are still learning, and their minds and brains and bodies are still growing. There really is no set time when this stops because peoples bodies are different, some age fast and some age slow, but we all hit adulthood which is when we can understand fully the reality of the world.
