I always wonder, why do people tend to be stuck in the past?
Not everyone, but people are in general wired that way. They always think of the past, connect with unnecessary people of the past, and never go forward. once you are done with your school, you should just get a job, make a family, and move on to the next steps of your lives. I don’t know, adopt pets, buy properties, start a hobby, write down your dreams and do a little thing about them every day. It’s really that simple, at lease in the Western World.
Maybe staying for too long at school has something to do this. They stay in schools for so long, and at some point it just clicks that they have no responsibility other than tracking others progresses and just reading worthless papers.
