Youth is a lie—a sin.
Those who glorify youth deceive both themselves and those around them, always facing the world with forced optimism. Even devastating failures are romanticized as symbols of youth, turning mistakes into fond memories.
A delinquent who once engaged in pickpocketing and gang activity might be labeled as "passionate" or "hot-blooded."
Fail an exam?
They'll say school isn’t just about learning.
Under their warped definition of youth, even common sense and societal norms can be distorted.
To them, lies, secrets, and failures aren’t setbacks—they’re the "spice" of youth. They’ll find meaning in their own wrongdoings, justifying their failures as part of some grand experience. But when it comes to others, failure is simply failure.
In the end, those who reject this illusion of youth are the ones who stand on the side of true righteousness.
