A lot of questions come up to the human's mind every time the word success faces them; It's not about the word itself, but about the future that is hidden for each one of us. We simply are clueless characters living in a world of perfection, a world where you have to follow a certain code so you are considered 'cool', a world where mistakes are appreciated where love is neglected, a world where we are afraid to show our love but we won't hesitate to show our hate.
Are we humans the ones who made this world this way? And if so, cannot we reverse it? Or is this the way we humans understood the world civilization? Then how would you explain that the current life style did not exist few years ago; Is this process of civilization a side effect of technology or did we humans change dramatically in a way that we forced the whole society to change as well? And if the last hypothesis was true, what caused humans to change this way?
A lot of theories can be written -yet unproven- about this whole mess but none of them will ever make sense; I may not be that old but when I was a kid, things were kind of different than what they are now; Kids nowadays seem lost, engulfed in the love of possessions and taught to brag, lie or cheat to make them look good -which is the only thing that matters to them. I guess kids are no longer passionate about life or about their own future.
But is it true that every new generation is worse than the one before it? It would be stupid to generalize and make such an assumption, but I think of it this way: Maybe the standards of raising your kids 10 years ago won't be the same as what they are now, or will be in the next 10 years? But did we actually agree to change our standards upon our own children or is this another thing that is considered 'cool'? Is 'letting your kid learn on their own' a new method to describe 'cool'? Are we actually giving up some of our best features as a society just to look 'cool'? If that's the case, I am afraid this situation is too complicated to be discussed in one paper.
Take a walk down the street at the early morning, have a little chat with one of the kids, ask them about what they want to be when they grow up, their biggest dreams, and their current life status and obstacles. Then ask yourself this question; Is this the way or the society I want to raise my child in?
