The most terrible impact today's media has on our youth, is making them trust nothing. This is what happens in their house as well, where media effected people keep telling them not to trust anyone. Stranger is danger. Its a mean world out there.
They are discouraged demoralized to have believe and have confidence, to take risk, and they are pushed towards the safe zone where they don't dare to become leaders. Because leaders take risks, use courage, and they face their fears and help out others, to become leaders.
We have become a sheep nation. Following each other in a long queue towards becoming factory workers, slaves, needing a guaranteed return of our labor every month and we want that fast. We are always looking for shortcuts to become a millionaire overnight. Children learn that from us, our youth is horrified insecure and frustrated form the contrast the see in their seniors in what they say and what their actions are.
It is never too difficult actually to know about the real personality, behind the mask of a person pretending to be someone he or she is not.. We just need to spend some time with him or her and those personality indicators tell us the real story. No one can hide the contrast in what he says and what he does for long. How long can someone pretend to be honest all the times? How long can someone pretend to be good, up right and a strong person all the time? When actually not. One, two or three days ? A week?
But one day that time will come when people are going to whiteness that you don't really believe in honesty, commitment, dedication, loyalty, truthfulness, when they see you in a contrast action of what you preach to them.
Sooner or later, they realize in their hearts mostly, that you are not what you talk about. Because more or less, they are the same. But you keep on pretending, that you are what you exhibit to the world. You think you always outwit people around you? And actually, they just don't have the will, or courage to tell you the truth about you. And you think they don't know the real you. This is the most dangerous assumption.
But in your heart and in their hearts, they know you don't really believe in those morals and those soft skills you always talk about. You actually believe in policy, is the best honesty.
But no one knows, that its an in built personality trait that you are bound to rely, trust and believe to survive. You need to believe and have faith, in something or someone, without which you can't spend a single day of your life. You need to trust the bus driver every day, to reach your office, school, or any other place, otherwise you wont make it. You have to trust the traffic lights, the government, and the police to do a lots of other things in life. Relying or trusting is inbuilt, you cant escape form being a relying, trusting believing soul.
But when it comes to faith you try to run away. Pretend or hide. Just because, it asks you to be answerable and responsible. Not even realizing that, you can not hide your personality indicators about what you actually believe in. You cant hide being a hypocrite for long. No matter what label of faith you are wearing, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or Jew. Your real faith is always visible in your personality indicators. Even being an atheist, you still have a faith.
And you know what the irony is? The creator says he is going to judge you on your own religion. Because religion( دین ) means the way of life in Arabic, nothing else. It means no label that you wear or exhibit.
Things that you start believing, trusting and than gradually make your faith, makes it your religion and that is your way of life. Not the labels you are wearing.
W.E.B Dubois said, Children learn more from what you are, than what you teach them. I would say People know you more form what you are, than what you tell them about yourself.
We are always keen to teach our children. But we never realize that, leaning is a lot more difficult, than teaching and we make it even more difficult, with the contrast between our actions and teachings. We confuse them, frustrate them and stress them, with that contrast. Their ideals are distorted and finally destroyed, they have no one to trust to follow the real path, and they first thing or person they see, they run away. Because relying is in built, they need to rely on something and if it is wrong, or dangerous, they become a victim of that actual mean world you have been teaching them to stay away from. Charity becomes at home and spreading frustration, insecurity stress and mistrust also begins at home. It does not mean that of you were born earlier than others, its going to make you an elder and earns you respect and dignity. It demands ability to sustain pressures and keep younger ones away form those pressures. Teach them how to survive with those pressures, tragedies and mishaps by setting an example not just preaching them about it form a book or making them listen and watch lectures.
Children grades drop due to wrong learning, but why don't we cut grades of those bad elders and and those bad teachers, who keep on grading our children on their bad and wrong teachings? Because there is no bad student only a bad teacher.
These bad seniors, elders and teachers create disbelieving, mistrusting scared insecure souls with their toxic negative behavior full of pessimism.. Finally, these poor young souls loose hope and either pick up a gun or they become suicidal.
And we just keep pretending we are worried and hold seminars, researches and media campaigns to find out reasons for those hostile or suicidal tendencies. But how serious we are about this issue? I am sure not that much serious. At least not as much as we are serious about the environmental and global warming issue, are we?
