Becoming an adult

When one really becomes an adult?

When one gets the privilege to vote?

What about those who don’t live in a “Democracy”?

When one starts to earn?

What about those who don’t need to earn?

When one gets stuck in an endless daily routine?

What about those who don’t have a daily routine?

When one moves to a new city on her own?

What about those die in the same town as they were born?

When one starts thinking about consequences of one’s actions?

What about children/adolescents trying to escape punishments?

When one starts to think about one’s eventual non-existence?

What about those who never has such thoughts?

Are we really becoming adults, or

Are we all pretending to be adults

In an absurd universe that doesn’t give

Two hoots about one’s entire life, let alone

One’s insignificant adulthood
