"A young man is so strong, so mad, and so lost, he has everything and is able to use nothing."

This can't be everything man can have, especially if these qualities aren't even that great. I wouldn't expect this kind of man to do anything with a character like this. If I were him, I'd probably go insane. How can a man be both certain and lost? This is a cute set of opposites, but what about "strong" and "mad"? These two aren't really opposites, unless you think craziness is a weakness. I thought that's where this guy was going, anyways, poetically describing opposites in a man to show that he has everything. And why does he say a "young man"? A young man definitely cannot have everything unless he's 20 years old and at the peak of his Olympic wins, or Justin Bieber. Otherwise, this man doesn't really have anything and the quote sarcastically wants to say that a man may think he has everything but is really able to use nothing. I would say a rebellious teen fits this description. He thinks he is strong because he rebels. He thinks he is mad because the music he listens to, says so. He is certain because he is stubborn. And he is lost because he's a go-with-the flow aka drug-using kind of guy. At his age, he feels invincible, driving fast cars, his hands with fast food, and a fast mouth. He can't do anything, really. I mean, it's not like he'll be a future cardiologist or something.
