The Youth Is Our Future? No Longer True: You Adults Had Killed It
"The Youth Is Our Future", says the teacher, says the ministry of education (government), says whoever. Yeah, OK, whatever.
Alas, now, one is no longer a Youth, so one is no longer your Future. Because, lacking your praise to "keep up the good work", one whose Future became the Now, being crushed by life's circumstances (being not a financially independent person, leaving one with student debt, panic of whether one could own a house by age 60 based on the liability larger than asset accumulation currently, and hence all hope is lost), fall back into no Future. Your Future, whom you would've want to change the country, to make it, perhaps, "great again" (Nope, Not America, Not the US, one don't come from there), had the flame of hope dwindled and extinguished long before he even started. "The Youth Is Our Future?" Alas, You Killed It.
Too much praise for the younger generation. One used to think one live in the Garden of Eden, where only praises from the adults come (if you do what they say and be a 'good' kid, i.e. 'obeying' kid). Alas, the Garden of Eden collapsed immediately and with no mercy at the face of adulthood. Yea, however much good deeds one did that God raised one to heaven, (S)He never says that, nor assure that, one who's first enters heaven won't in the future fall back to hell! Kids nowadays are future puppets, puppets of the older generations, puppets of those who aggregate money. Inequality being less because of housing and retirement? How liquid is those money even? Wealth isn't defined as such illiquid assets one holds, but how freely your cash flows. Alas, they're not. And only the rich can flow their cash, and you can be 'wealthy' but cannot spend a dime on food.
If we're a generation of good kids, of obeyance, who is to take the leadership? Those long gone shall raise from the grave and continued to live for another 300 years, that is. No, they can't die yet, because we no longer had young leaders. We had echoes whom could keep the current structure from decaying too fast (no structure don't decay, they just decay fast or slow), but to create new structures? Only those of older generations can, and we? We only copycat. For sure, our new way of innovating is to copycat from everywhere and patch them together and form a new product, then other people start seeing other way, and before long, we're being flooded and be "just another one of those" even if we're the one starting it. And who said what we started is clever if others could easily copycat our ideas? By default, something different strikes so hard to the paradigm that people find it difficult to comprehend! If it doesn't, we're probably indulged on being "different" when we're just another clone whom permutate the number of available solutions in some permutation "seed" (i.e. if you understand what "seed" means, if not, search up "seed used in computer generated random numbers"), which are also available for others to permutate the same way as we do. A product that, once exposed to the public, takes no longer for copycats to emerge, because, it's so easy!
