Karen didn't mean stray animals, she meant stray people. And it is possible that Pete never fell in love in that delicious, bright-as-dawn way that happens only when you're young. Finally, you are NEVER more fearless than when you're young BECAUSE you don't know any better. Fearless is the absence of fear, not the absence of things one might be afraid of. Someday. When you're old. Which Pete sounds like he is. Sadly. Pete is wrong. Karen didn’t mean stray animals, she meant stray people.

First, it's easier to adopt a stray once you own your own home and have cash to spend on food and pet supplies and vet bills. Second, college students and twentysomethings tend to have much more tempestuous, unstable, superficial relationships than people who *really* fall in love as mature, responsible adults. Third, it's very hard for young people to be fearless because they have very little to be legitimately afraid of. It's committing to share your life with another person and taking on the awesome responsibility of parenthood that require real courage, not starting yet another frivolous social-something-or-other Web 2.0 company just so you can have it on your resume after it tanks six months later.
