Answer 2

Reflection (Footnote to Youth):

What we give to life, it turns everything back to us.

The story wherein Dodong married at early age is not that good considering the life of the family with parents who cannot understand enough what life can bring. He thought everything would be fine in the future but the consequences still made it's way to shake his life when his son Blas decided to get married same as what he had done in the past.

One lesson I've got is to think first before doing an unsure step to avoid superficial which may arise due to improper decision process. We have seen lots of the same experiences in this current generation. What we cna do as a youth is to be more aware enough of our little step. YES, we have the power over life however, everything must be seen in a critical mode. Having it said, still,our parents can better understand and can explain to us so it's better to consult their advices first. Never ever make a quick decision when you're happy just like never ever made a decision when you're down.
