Now as another assignment, why the hell is premartial sex up?
Again, much of this comes from an assumption that has been passed on. While it is true that having a strong familial background where both parents are present and act as good parents promotes the next generation to behave in a similar manner, it is still becoming more common that premarital sex occurs, even within good familial upbringings for homes. Why is this? The assumption is that youth are to be glorified and are able and fully capable of making good choices on their own without parental guidance. Basically, as long as junior does not steal, kill, rape, or maim anyone, junior should, in theory, have the knowledge and wisdom to deal with the world at large in every situation imaginable. Hence, junior does not know how to respect authority, which includes consulting junior's elders for consul and submitting to what they say in all matters. Half of the time junior does not know what junior is into, let alone how to fix it. Neither is junior taught that junior should consult junior's elders when such situations occur. Rather, junior is taught that junior will the next bright shining star on the horizon of the failures of the previous generation. Therefore, instead of the elder generation showing the younger generation how to live and receiving the praise and respect for it, we have the younger generation telling the elder generation how to live and receiving the praise and respect for it. So, when junior finds a nice person of the opposite gender (or even of the same gender, but that is another issue) that they like, all junior knows is that junior feels a certain way about them, and the only "true" way of showing that is through what the TV tells junior, which is sex. The TV nor junior's elders mentioned that marriage should and needs to come first if junior does not want to spend the next 50 years finding where junior's head should be. Instead, junior knows best, and shame on anyone who says otherwise.
The whole scenario just described might sound like a bad joke in a sense. Yet, this "joke" is the current reality. It used to be that parents, grandparents, religious leaders, political leaders, and the like could all be seen in a much more positive light by the younger generation. The younger generation relied on the older generation for all matters. Now, we have the opposite. The scary part about this is that this is not the first time in history that this has happened. This also happened in Athens, Greece about 2500 years ago when Athens was on its downfall. Youth was glorified there as well, which was one of the reasons that lead to the demise of Athens. Youth does not know much about the world around them because they do not even understand themselves yet. Yet, we are giving command of the army to the private instead of the general. All of this has happened in the past 40-60 years. We have come a long way in a short time - too far, really. Again, the place where people start is where they end when it comes to assumptions. If we assume that youth are the future, we will end up seeing youth in charge of the present before the future. I do not know how this makes you feel, but I have found that many find this scary. So, really, how do you feel about a two-year-old leading you?
