Dear The Universe,
thank you for answering my first letter through the Linkin Park song being played by my little sister right now. the lyrics of your reply, Numb by Linkin Park, are really soothing. and so is the music itself. thank you for that.
i have a few issues right now... one of them is the Right to Choose and the Definition of Freedom.
we can never choose our own path, can we? As the Youth, can we really decide for ourselves what we may or may not do? Is it really all up to us, or do our superiors control everything? i really don't know because we're always told that we have the right to make our own choices; we make our own decisions in life. but now, i'm starting to doubt that these are true for us... are we really free to choose what we're bound to do?
we can't make our own decisions, can we? as the youth, we're supposed to be able to make our own choices and learn from our mistakes. we're always told that, but do our superiors really let us apply it? instead, they make the decisions for us and make us avoid mistake. But why? the whole point of decisions is to learn from them, and we, the youth, are supposed to be able to learn. we can't if we're always trapped in our superiors' decisions.
freedom. why can't the youth also have freedom? we're supposed to be more free than the elderly, as they say, but we aren't. why not? i get the fact that we're supposed to be supervised and all, but, now that i think of it, we're kept in a box made by our superiors. we're kept inside an inhibitor which makes us think that that's all there is to it, but once we hit adulthood, we are suddenly pushed into a whole new world we aren't familiar with. the reason most of us fall for a while at the beginning of adulthood is because of the hard time getting used to adulthood. why can't we be free while we're kids so that we can get used to adulthood when the time comes?
i'm hoping that you can help me understand these, The Universe. thank you again.
your tenant,~ aris
