Just a snapshot moment, and it captures what I am going through...
I wonder what do you see in this video? Do you see Chaos? Questions? Happiness? Sadness? Frustrations? Inclusiveness? Diversities?
In my previous posts, there are a lot of words on culture change, which takes time and generations. Recently, there is talking about more censorship for kids. I wonder what would be better? To show, and therefore you can teach early? Or to ban, so they learn later, maybe even in their adulthood, and absorb what they absorb (right or wrong). While I think both methods is "fine" in a way, but the current environment / culture may not be working with it.
Why? From a young age, a lot of children are bombarded with this and that, compete in school, learn more, so you can "compete" in life, achieving "better"... but guess what, it is from "Your Own" perspective, it is almost like we are frown upon for them to make a choice. Can they make informed decision, probably not all the time, but then again, as if our adults can do that 100% all the time. Some of the wisdoms - I think learning early help to promote a more loving society and it starts from the beginning to the end of a lifetime.
Is this what we are going through?
At the young age, if we are taught to "protect" ourselves, because others aren't to be "trusted", and not learn how to "forgive". What do we expect to happen? They become adult, probably experienced a few adversities, some went silent, hidden, then carry those feelings into their adulthood with no channel to release (which is fair, because by that point, it is about managing the existing issues, rather than not being broken). Then with collage, university, never ending workload. Mark my word: "I don't have time, I got...............". You know you have said it, probably more often than not. Our society at this stage is making everyone busy, because we do spend a lot of time to "protect" ourselves, and it is also limiting a better opportunities otherwise could have existed.
If we can't get out of this vicious cycle - shit has happened in the past. How will I tell the next generation, to others. Maybe it isn't I can't stand back up, I just didn't want to stand up for a world that makes everyone's lives harder when there are better ways. If trust was broken, by continuing the same, it got to have a good reason, I can, can you? Will your next generation say the same to you? Or will we thank our past ancestors/enemies for their beautiful mistakes in the past, so that we (current time) don't need to go through it.
