Yeah yes, yes, that's it. The youth had to end, oh yes. But youth is just to be like an animal. No, it is like being one of the tiny toys that we are perplexed, not just to be an animal, but also to be sold in these streets. But he goes straight and hits something, Bam Bam and does what he does without his hand. Being young is like being one of these tiny machines. {syf. 167}
The excerpt reflects on the nature of youth, comparing it to a form of animalistic behavior and likening it to a toy that is manipulated and sold. It suggests that youth is characterized by a lack of control, where individuals act without fully understanding their actions, akin to machines that function without awareness. This evokes a sense of loss regarding the essence of youth, emphasizing that it is not just a developmental stage but a complex experience intertwined with societal expectations.
The metaphor of youth as a "tiny machine" suggests a disconnection from genuine human experiences and emotions. The imagery of hitting something with a "Bam Bam" indicates impulsiveness and a chaotic existence in which young individuals navigate through a world that seeks to commodify them. Ultimately, the passage critiques the loss of innocence and autonomy in the youth experience, presenting a poignant reflection on the challenges faced by young people in a conformist society.
