Things I Don't Understand

There are many things people said, "You'll understand when you're older." I guess maybe I'm still not "old enough." There are also those things I thought I got, yet now I'm confused. Here is my list:

1. Why people hurt others when there's nothing to gain (like computer viruses).
2. Why friends separate over things that don't really matter (like the guy/girl you don't really like).
3. Why some people seem to think it's okay to let their kids run their lives.
4. How some women go back to abusive boyfriends/husbands and why they seem to think they "deserve it."
5. Why divorce and broken families are the norm, even in Christian families.
6. Why adults fight more fiercely for Christmas presents than for the time they have lost to be with family.
7. Why providing for the family became more important than keeping the family together.
8. Why kids have no respect for others or for themselves.
9. Why getting ahead is more important than building a relationship.
10. Why fake smiles go on at church, and come off once folks reach their cars.
11. Why yelling is the first defense in an argument.
12. Why women are so caught up in their weight, height, look, etc.
13. How people can afford what they want, but when it comes to fixing others needs it's suddenly "not in the budget."
14. When winning the game became more important than the fun you were supposed to have while playing it.
15. Why people forget important things like your birthday, anniversary, lunch box, picking their child up after school, other stuff.
16. Why friends make you choose between other friends.
17. Why people pick on others.
18. How certain events can just destroy other people's lives.
19. Why companies make it hard to navigate their systems.
20. Why paper (money) controls our lives.
21. Why honesty is so hard, yet so necessary.
22. Why cursing is so easy to pick up, so hurtful, and so hard to quit saying.
23. Why parents try to control their kids lives and pick out a life for them.
24. Why some parents care too much and others not at all.
25. Why people say things they never meant to do in the first place.
26. Why violence and sex creep ever more steadily into everyday life.
27. Why people ignore all evidence of wonder and notice only what proves their opinion.
28. Why kids get abandoned and left behind.
29. How love seems to take root even in the most diverse circumstances.
30. Why God hasn't gotten sick of watching humanity yet.

They list goes on, mostly not negative as this part has been, but I just picked the first 30 that came to mind. Maybe they were the first few just because I'm tired of how I see folks treating other folks. I may come back and add to this later, but there's my little rant of not understanding this world I find myself in.
