Older people have ALWAYS said this about the younger GENERATION

Being implies generated within the way of all...not a young vs old conflict. Being implies linear progression; conflict implies circular revolt.

It's about maturity

a) Nature (inception towards death) brings being (life) to maturity. Even an immature life matures during the process of dying.

b) About/onbutan - "on the outside of; around the circumference of"... https://www.etymonline.com/word/about

Being implies at the center (perception) of circumference (perceivable), hence within. Few suggest whataboutism as a logic fallacy to invert ones position among many.

When we reflect

We (plural) prevents one (singular) from responding (re) flexible (flect)...plural constricts singular.

Reflection in nature implies light (motion) generating spectrum (momentum) to bend rays (matter) from one another...a singular process.

work ethic

Work implies energy moving; ethic implies matter within moving energy holding onto moral custom...ethic ignores work.

when I first started in construction

Construct implies putting together, ones start implies set apart from one another...the former implies synthesis; the latter analysis.

First implies nature...not what any being within constructs. Ignoring nature for construct implies being unproductive.

the work was too hard and quit quickly

Because others suggest one to work towards an outcome, which when consented to expels ones power quickly, while making it harder and harder to keep up with the demand (charge with a commission).

Work implies energy (internal/inherent power) aka cause generating effect aka all separating into each one aka nature generating being.

Being implies adaptation to origin...not working towards outcome. If one adapts to generation, then one re-generates.

Ask yourself this...if you work in construction, yet know that any constructed civilization falls, then why are you continuing to build on an uneven foundation?

Some things will never change.

Everything (cause) changes into each thing (effect)...never implies ones de-nial/nihilo (nothing) of everything perceivable for suggested nihil-ism by free will of choice.
