Confused Youth Part 1

April 14, 2009 4 comments

How many of us know the term “ideology”? And how many of us know the essence of this term; what exactly does its definition mean? The answers to these and many other questions clearly tell the number of people knowing and even thinking about it. With due respect, but I have seen many of my elders who are confused in their thoughts.

Similarly the youth also donot have a clear focal point and there could be many reasons to it including that of generation gap. The youth does not have a clear vision of their lives and careers. Infact, the basic question that used to be asked regarding purpose of life are now rarely reported. Is it deliberately done or are we accountable for this?

The immature youth mind tries solving conflicts that results in temporary solutions, henceforth leading to frustration, despair and intolerance. Yes, if we are talking about social and economic security, then the elite class is out of the debate, but, what about the middle and lower classes? Sometimes this complex seems to be a gift given by our forefathers, maybe because of their irresponsible attitude at times when they were called the youth.

Now obviously we have to bear the cost. Would it be fair that next generation live in the mess we are living in…? Even at this age the respectful figures of the society aren’t fulfilling the duty. It is too far to discuss which ideology or thought is better, at least, we should start thinking about it.
