Who are
you?
Growing up is a very diffi-
cult task to master. I should
know, because I’ve been doing
It for over a half a century and
although I am supposed to be
reaching that super time in life
when all things wise and won-
derful are expected to pour forth
from my lips as from an oracle,
I still react nalvelyto almost
tears over Injustices in society.
At such occasions, I swallow
hard and bite my tongue to keep
from crying, but somehow, be
tlon of seif-worth that even we
immature adults could apply to
our own uncertainties.

cause these strong emotions are exactly like me.
Ible to control,
In all the world, there la no one
else like me. -
There are persona who have aoma
parts like me, but no one adds up
almost lmpossib
the tears squeeze out and run in
tell-tale rivulets down my
freckled cheeks.
Where Is it written when
someone is supposed to be
grown-up? Who knows what
magic age it is when you reach
a point and leave youth with all
Its Indecisions and insecurities
behind?
At one time in my life, I
viewed ministers as all-knowing
and caring. Teachers as crea-
tures who were always fair and
Impartial. Bankers as arise men
with trusted opinions and pure
ethics. Mothers as people who
dished out food with one hand
and the future with another.
Fathers at creatures who al-
ways provided and loved and
cared for their families.
Have I learned! Few of the
above statements are always
true. As I’ve grown older, I’ve
had to stop romanticising hu-
manity and realize that we all
have feet of clay. There are no
absolutes.
And yet, one cannot com-
pletely loae faith in humanity.
Maybe the best we can do is to
learn to Uve life on a day-to-day
basis. Just trying to do the best
we can at any given moment
and then proceeding to the next
day with prayers for forgive-
ness for what we have done
badly or left undone and prayers
of hope for the future.
And I wonder that If I, at
my advanced age. feel that way
and view society that way. then
what does a lonely and troubled
teen-ager think aa he tries to
puzzle his way through days of
insecurity multiplied by the
Inexperience and hormonal
