Youth

Youth is magnanimous. Its also full of pride, impatience and contradictions. And its because of the immense pride of youth that makes the person so very sensitive and easily vulnerable to embarrassment. It is very easy to feel humble. When you achieve anything, say, get your first job, the first feeling is that of great humility. One feels a sense of gratification to the entire world! To one's family, to friends. Pride comes only later, when it actually sinks into the mind, when the mind no longer is in that sense of elation. Pride comes when one reasons out. It could be like "Yes, ofcource I deserved it, thats why I got the job". Its also very easy to feel hurt. Thats probably because of being sensitive and impatient at the same time! Let me explain. The root cause is pride again. One is extremely ambitious(meaning the most ambitious one can get in one's lifetime is in his youth ), exacting and wants all things his/her way. Life unfortunately is not that forgiving, just does not seem to entertain the follies of youth. Things just dont happen your way all the time. And youth is not bestowed with immense patience, ofcourse people endure things, have persistence, but all this is mostly out of practise and conscious enforcement of discipline, its not natural. One also has the highest physical stamina in youth. It sometimes only adds to the confusion of youth. And yes when you dont know what else to blame, there are those hormones ofcourse, which add spice to youth!
