The World According to the Youth

The world goes like this ...

When the time we are infants, our parents taught us everything we should know. They are the first 'socializers' in our socialization for we opened our eyes seeing them.

Inquisitiveness is what toddlers/children possess. They always ask things about anything under the sun. We always scold them for they are very naughty and we are irritated, but they are just wanting to seek answers that they still don't know. Don't you know that an inquisitive kid is smart? Are we taking away their chance to be smart? If they are not naughty, then they are not children anymore.

It comes to that moment when we stop seeking answers and we see it ourselves. There are problems we see in the society, because of the different socialization we underwent during our childhood, and we intend to ask 'why?', but we know even our parents and elderly cannot answer because itis their generation doing it. Now why we, the youth, do have that keen perspective on things that elder doesn't have anymore?

I think we have the capability to see positive things from negative things and vice versa, is because we are the YOUTH, the next in line, the future of this world. If we do not see this anomalies and gifts, maybe we cannot be good citizens of our country. It is now our natural possession that we have an observant, critical, and skeptic mind so that we can determine what may have done and what have been already done.

The point - we see these mistakes for us to correct in the future, not to follow and repeat them. We are the hope of the nation. Maybe the past generation isn't proud that they had not done what must have been done during their time. And so as a consequence, the youth today do not have the motivation and the inspiration to do what is right, to be the hope, because what they are following are junks!

I am a youth, and it is clear that my job is to observe every single and small details of imperfection and to accredit the future with the observation I had done during my youthful days, so that I may be proud to say that, "I did my job to be the hope of this country". I hope this can be an awakening to every YOUTH who are reading this. It is never late to try, and there is no harm in doing so.
