How can single adults over the age of 35 make meaningful connections and feel like they truly belong in a world that often seems designed for young people?
People are hardly capable of this. But a person can. He needs to become young again. What distinguishes them?
Mature people:
- Initially, they want to take from others and receive (love, energy, resources), because the world is built on the struggle for resources, and therefore this position is logical.
- They do not want to give to others, except for reciprocal payment (you to me, I to you), because giving for nothing is not logical.
- Even from their own children, they demand reciprocity (we’ve given you everything, and we have the right to expect it).
- To avoid going crazy, they keep animals to give to at least them, because it’s reasonable not to expect anything from an animal.
- One-sided incoming motivation – nothing is possible if there’s no profit.
Young person:
- It’s easy for others to give and receive.
- He’s neutral towards all living things, including people, even if they don’t reciprocate.
- Deprived of the anticipatory motive of reciprocity.
- Two-way outgoing-incoming motivation – everything is possible, even if there is no profit.
