older kids are not allowed to tell the young kids that Santa Claus is fake.

similarily, older men are not willing to tell young men in person that romantic love is superficial. The truth is hidden from the young men for the same reason the truth about Santa Claus is hidden from children. A 45 yr old man, regardless if he is married or divorced knows for a fact that romantic love is so superficial.

think about this for a sec… A man is supposed to propose to his gf with a diamond ring worth 3 MONTH paycheck!!! How superficial is that?

Bonus: Another truth that is hidden from young people is that the vast majority of 9 to 5 office jobs suck!
