I'm only 26, not too much older than Telexen. At 18 I would have thought much the same as him, in fact even to around 22 or 23. Once you are married and have a child, a lot of growing up happens quickly. I am able to see how narrow minded I was, how ignorant of so many aspects of life. In the last 3 or 4 years, I've learned a lot, imagine what the next 10 or 15 will bring.
Good topic, nice idea, but the reality is it's really not plausible.
