"Death Of The Soul" by Alex (Part 1)

---

There are many reasons why adults are afraid to associate with young people and much of it relates to the numerous crimes and abuses that adults have perpetrated upon our youth over the years and centuries. The list is long so I will only mention a few:

---

- Priests molesting young people
- Teachers having sex with students
- Parents abusing their children
- Wealthy people like Jeffrey Epstein arranging for young girls to have sexual intercourse with politicians, millionaires/billionaires, businessmen and world leaders.

---

There are many more documented cases that I could list, but you get the point I am making. As a result, society has demanded that our children and young people be protected by law and that these laws be aggressively enforced and adult perverts be punished.

---

Other contributing factors are the "Me Too Movement," pervasive groupthink and victimhood movements, the LGBT+ ideology and a belief that whatever alleged victims say it must be true and therefore the alleged perpetrator is "guilty" and must prove his/her innocence. These combined forces have made many adults nervous and fearful of false allegations because we understand that if we are wrongly accused of a sex crime, it is likely that we will lose our family and friends, our employment and all of our assets. In addition, there is a high probablity that we would be found guilty and sent to prison.

---

A friend of mine who was a prosecutor and is now is a successful defense attorney specializing in sex crimes, told me that 80% of the men imprisoned for sex crimes in the state where he practices law are, in his opinion, innocent. And he also admits that the judicial system, our media and our society believe that if a man is accused of a sex crime, he is guilty and must prove his innocence.

---

I would challenge anyone reading this essay to talk to an innocent man who has been falsely accused of a sex crime and ask him if he was treated fairly and assumed innocent until proven guilty or if he was instead, treat like a criminal who must prove his innocence? I could provide more graphic detail of what I am talking about, but I have said enough and hopefully you understand the point I am making.

---

My son is a director of Music and Arts in a well known private high school and to protect himself from false allegations, he had the school install video cameras in his office and bandroom. Students are only allowed to meet with him if other adults and students are present and the doors are left open. In my private life, I teach guitar lessons and require that a parent be present at all times to protect myself from false allegations. And whenever I am in the presence of women (young or old) I always ask my wife or daughter to accompany me and if they cannot, I will not attend the event. (cont)

"" I received a personal question from Каришка Альметьевск:

---

Karishka Almetievsk
"Imagine the situation, for tomorrow, for reasons unknown to you, in your city the degree dropped below -60 degrees Celsius, and this is for a whole month. Will you have something to wear, or will you stay at home until it gets warmer?" ""

---

***********
Большое спасибо за вопрос!

---

Мало у кого в отсталой Британии есть одежда, хотя бы наполовину подходящая для такой температуры. . .

---

Даже при -10°С молодые люди, особенно девушки, выходят практически голыми в пятницу/субботу. . . .

---

С тех пор, как мы вернулись домой в понедельник, 5 дней назад, мы не пошли дальше сада ~ чтобы покормить зверя!

---

Однако сегодня мы ДОЛЖНЫ отправиться в город. . . . в bmw можно подняться по склону!

---

***************
(for the british barbarians:)
Thank-You , so-much for the question!

---

Few people, if any, in backward-Britain have the the clothing even half suitable for such temperature . . .

---

Even at -10C young people, particularly girls , go out virtually naked on Friday/Saturday nights . . . .

---

Since we came home on Monday , 5 days ago , we have gone no further than the garden ~ to feed the beast !

---

Today, however, we MUST go to town . . . . in the bmw can climb the incline !

An excellent question. I am almost too embarrassed to answer it because I haven't learned any new skill or attempted anything new for a long time. Most probably it is due to laziness and the fact that objects like myself tend to remain at rest until an opposing force causes it to move.

---

I started to learn how to play a chromatic harmonica a few months ago. Let me say this, the older you are, the more difficult it is to acquire new skills. It's damn frustrating. And I still have a banjo sitting there waiting for me to attempt to learn a few simple songs to amuse myself. Of course I don't expect to ever perform live with either instrument, but I am more curious to see if I even have the capacity to learn a new instrument at my age. I already play Bass and Guitar and understand functional piano, but those instruments I learned at a young age and now I simply pick them up and play, but the harmonica and banjo are like different universes to me.

---

Not a great answer, but a truthful one none the less. Learning a new instrument is tough!

---

Thanks for the question.

Live your life doing those things that give you satisfaction and stop worrying about what females say or do. Also, you need to know the attributes that you are looking for in a woman. If you want to meet a woman who is kind, humble and giving, you might consider working with disabled children or a homeless shelter or some other work where people actually care about those among us who are less fortunate.

---

When I completed college at age 25, that is precisely what I did. I worked at a state run hospital for the disabled and an angel appeared. And the truth is that I wasn't even looking. I simply started a Music Therapy program and scheduled music programs for the young adults.

---

So I encourage you to simply live your life and become a "good deed" doer and eventually, when the stars align, you will meet a woman who is compassionate, giving and who truly understands the meaning of love. Be patient and passionate with your work and hobbies.

I think the ideal is being in a smaller city nearby a big metropolis. Like Cambridge / Boston, or Oakland / San Francisco. Far enough away that you don't feel crowded every time you leave the house, but you still have access to the jobs, nightlife, dating scene, etc of the big city. It's definitely overrated to pay a premium to live downtown somewhere that's super busy. Noise is constant, crime is higher, there's always some bullshit going on on the street, traffic sucks. If you're going to do it, do it while you're still young... the older you get the lower your patience for dense city living becomes. Find a mellow neighborhood with a good pub and a local bakery instead. I lived in a few larger cities in my twenties but in hindsight putting down roots in a smaller town earlier would have saved me a lot of time and money. With that said I had a lot of good experiences and gained a lot of experience working in a more competitive environment that I carried with me making the smaller city experience a breeze by comparison.
Living in a city was okay for a year or two, but afterwards I really just wanted to leave again. Too much constant stimulation, too many people, not enough nature, I couldn't stand it. I thought moving to a bigger city would help my dating and friend prospects, but if anything it was tougher because my manners and values were too different. Honestly I still can't stand city-native type people, idk what it is but 90% of the time they strike me as so weird and off putting. But I did meet my gf there (who's from the sticks herself), so that part worked out.
I moved from a small town to a bigger city a few weeks after I turned 18. Loved it, still love it, and would highly recommend giving it a shot even if for only a small amount of time. If you don’t like it, do the fun stuff and bounce after a few years. If anything you’ll appreciate your small town that much more. For me, being in the middle of it all is better than space and tranquility. But there’s not right answer and I self aware enough to know that I might not always feel that way.
Hell no, I've always hated Chicago, even the nice areas fucking suck to live there. Too much shit going on, no parking, and everyone acts like assholes. It was only a 20 minute Uber to go out and party over there anyway so its not like I missed out in my early 20s. My friends were always dragging me out to the bars and clubs at that age.
I know alot of people that do it for a social life. I had a good one while being in the burbs. Only trade off is I have to drive everywhere with the exception of some pools, a shopping area (with food, grocery stores, pharmacy, and gas in it), and woods/the river.

Yes, there are several films that I consider to be my favorites. The genre that I enjoy most are romance films. I especially like character development and those emotions generated as two people fall in love and express their love for one another. And when the script is well written and the music consists of enchanting melodies and beautiful harmony that creates a romantic mood and aspires to ignite a meteoric flame that burns brightly and convinces the audience that love does exist and that love is beautiful, magical and worthwhile; those are the special moments and scenes that satisfy the soul and leave the heart wanting for more.

My favorite romance film is entitled: "Somewhere in Time" which was released in 1980 and was adapted from the Novel "Bid Time Return" written by Richard Matheson.

This film features:

---

+ Christopher Reeve as Richard Collier
+ Jane Seymour as a young Elise McKenna
+ Christopher Plummer as William Robinson
+ Susan French as an elderly Elise McKenna
+ Director: Jeannot Szwarc
+ Music: John Barry
+ Film location: Mackinac Island, Michigan

⠀⠀In some dark alley of Kamurocho, at hours of midnight where criminal activity was more frequent, the voices of intimidating thugs were present after brutal sounds that highlighted a rain of blows and kicks leaving cold evidence of a poor bloody young man lying on the ground, completely deceased at the hands of the two culprits who shared callous words and mischievous smiles.

They were convinced that there would be no one around, not a soul. That gave them the freedom to get away with it and perform a bloody act in the dark. It was a horror scene.

No one had even heard the cries for help...

⠀⠀⠀The waiter had understood a signal from a distance. "Someone will come to take your order, miss, please wait here," he said with a subtle bow, walking away to attend to other tables.

A tall masculine figure in a suit with that distinctive eyepatch appeared walking across the carpeting that separated the seats and led to the stage. He took a slight detour to reach Nova's seat, probably at a cautious pace just to cause surprise.

---

⠀⠀⠀❝...Seems that someone's feeling nervous. The place is too much for ya?❞ Majima asked with a charismatic touch, placing a bottle of exclusive brand champagne on the table, along with a few glasses, in an extremely careful and elegant manner.
He thought that she would be surprised to see him, but in reality it happened the other way around. Majima was too surprised to get a better view on her… as if he was admiring a true beauty never seen before.

---

⠀⠀⠀❝Eh- uh... ya look... really stunning. I was wondering why there were so many drooling faces.❞ His voice was a bit nervous, but he made up for it with a subtle smile and an amused comment. He couldn't afford to lose the composure in the middle of work.

⠀⠀⠀A beautiful sunset just happened, and there was a crowd of people (mostly men in expensive suits) around such a renowned place that shone in all its splendor, just like the reputation of being the number one cabaret in Sotenbori.
Nova's presence began to captivate too many glances, although luckily for her someone seemed to have been waiting for her arrival.

---

⠀⠀"...You're Nova, right?" with all respect to her and a gentle smile, a young man in a waiter's uniform now walked beside her, ready to guide her way. He had been given the task of welcoming a woman with fiery red hair.

---

⠀⠀"Please come this way, miss," he requested kindly, leading her directly to the double-doored entrance.

---

It was a different world. Filled with jazz music, a huge amount of people laughing and enjoying good company with quality liquor, such an elegant and meticulous setting, striking to any eye, amazingly spacious and two-story, long red carpet looming in the center... every detail was mesmerizing.
The young man would soon guide her to a seat near the musicians' stage so that she would have a good view of the entertainment. Even the padding on the seats was so comforting, and the accompanying tables beautifully decorated.

Szczerze powiedziawszy w wielu książkach młodzieżowych ta granica się zaciera, a to dosyć przerażajace. Z punktu widzenia młodszych odbiorców granica istnieje nie bez powodu, z punktu widzenia dorosłych young adult przecież i dla nich może być wartościowe, bo często skupia się na pewnych prawdach jakie odkrywa główny bohater, jego przemianie moralnej itd.
Wszystko zależy od tego, co zawiera fabuła, ale zakładam że książki +18 nie bez powodu takie są. A bez ograniczenia wiekowego to co za różnica czy ktoś przeczyta ambitną literaturę w wieku 12 czy 40 lat. Granice odpowiadają potrzebom czytelników i dopasowują się do poziomu intelektualnego i rozwoju. Zupełnie jak podręczniki w szkole. To, że ktoś ma zainteresowania odbiegające od średniej populacji w danym przedziale wiekowym, albo rozwija się ponadprzeciętnie szybko nie znaczy, że może czytać tylko trzy konkretne rodzaje książek.
Niesmacznie jest jak z young adult robi się motyw za otwartymi drzwiami, a 12-14 latki jarają się „spicy romansami”. Często wręcz przeciwnie - nie są gotowe na szczegółowe opisy scen łóżkowych w książkach reklamowanych jako YA. Tu granica powinna być jasno postawiona. Wraz z doświadczeniem życiowym zaczynamy też inaczej postrzegać pewne spawy i z literatury wynosić zdecydowanie więcej, dlatego książki dla starszych poruszają inne zagadnienia. Nastolatki potrzebują kontentu, który odpowie na ich potrzebę kształtowania tożsamości, strefy emocjonalnej i odniesienia siebie samego w kontekście społeczeństwa, więc najłatwiej będzie im się utożsamiać z bohaterami podobnymi wiekiem, którzy przeżywają podobne problemy, pierwsze miłości i zderzenia z dojrzałością. W literaturze dla starszych czytelników nie trzeba wskazywać palcem kto zły kto dobry. Wręcz lepsze jest pozostawienie przestrzeni na refleksje czytelnika. W młodzieżówkach należy wskazywać dobre wzorce postępowania, bo młodemu człowiekowi zafascynowanemu fikcyjną postacią łatwiej się zagubić. Chociażby powszechny problem romantyzowania bad boyów w romansach i niedostrzegania złych wzorców zachowań. Narzeka się też w sumie na powielany płytki schemat głównej bohaterki - przeciętny wygląd, zainteresowania i charakter, stoi na uboczu, ale jak trzeba to odpyskuje, nie robi makijażu, ma tylko jedną koleżankę/kolegę, a zła blondyna z klasy uprzykrza jej życie bez powodu. No i oczywiście zakochuje się w niej niesamowicie przystojny bad boy, od którego powinna uciec jak najdalej, ale jest taaaaaki przystojny i słodki. A przecież wiele nastolatek właśnie takich jest, innych niż wszystkie i takie tam. Poza skrajną perfekcją i uzdolnieniem wielowymiarowym bohaterki.
Z punktu widzenia przyszłego publikatora opowiastki uważam, że lepiej gdyby moja treść trafiała jednak do odbiorców 16+ i myślę, że ten wiek a niekoniecznie magiczna 18 jest w porządku wyznacznikiem jak na mój kontent.

⠀⠀ ❝You have my thanks, but don't waste your money like that. I could pay it.❞ Majima would soon give him a discreet glance from above and below; noticing that she was young in age like the rest, probably assumed that she was a foreigner, might have a strong personality under a pretty face... however, there were physical details that aroused curiosity more than the flaming color of the hair. Pointy ears, red lines marked on her face and neck? It was the most extravagant thing that his eye has discovered today.

⠀⠀ ❝Never seen ya around here before... New in town? What's your name?❞ He asked just to create casual conversation. He didn't want to allow her to feel attacked or something similar because of a bad temper.
