humans tend to explore in order to develop and understand life ... to

up life ... young people face this dilemma as they go through that
journey ... and would it benefit them to see adults who have gone
through these years, turning a new leaf based on their own learing
of the journey so far ... for the challenges that face the
young are similar, the pressures are similar, if not the same as those
which met and influenced - in what ever way - people older than them
today ... the pressures often stem from the choices that the society
makes in order to achieve what it would, and with what it costs ... and
with what "benefits" or by products ... when does this process of
society building [ and living ] become a process of society building
alone, where

development going ...

whole life action
- unreality reaction
how do we take action or behave so that whole life is fulfilled ...
unreality - whether as stories or wishes, etc. - may project a part of
life as aspired but which may not work well when extended in similar
way to other aspects of life ... such visions or views of life may seem
real when presented as stories, or pictures, or sensations, but that
sense of fulfillment that they project may be difficult to replicate in
reality as they do not reflect the character of life or reality as a
whole unit ... the 'fulfillment' that they hold out may find expression
only in further works of fiction or such projections,
and not in reality where they may be frustrated ...
unreality that way may evoke reactions, from being unreal and not
fulfilling in real life ... yet they may be alluring and perpetuate
returns to the world of unreal projections whether in stories, or
projections in real life - such projections may work at some levels,
but may not work in whole life ...
in life, people can learn things, and gain mastery over something to
some extent, and derive satisfaction from doing that ... in life there
are aspects which may not have been well understood or projected in
their realistic proportions and utility to life ... people may be
receiving more information or projections on how things can go wrong
and less on how life works ...
