Culture isn't degrading
I'm tired of these people who say that the new generation's culture and moral values are degrading. They say that we are corrupt and who know's what! Yea, right!
The culture is not degrading. It's evolving. Actually, I think the present generation's 'culture' is much more superior than the old generation's.
It's like a language. Take the changing english language and how acronyms like lol, afaik, imho, etc are becoming a part of the language. There are 'purists' trying to stop this. But a language is something that people use to express themselves. They can use it however they want, as long as the other person can understand it correctly. It might actually be a good thing if the language evolved. Afaik(you can pronounce it Aff-ike), could be used instead of 'as far as I know'. Communication becomes faster, the language becomes succinct by nature.
A culture too is an evolving, 'organic' thing. The youth are building a new culture-one based on global peace and compassion.
We may be 'unreligious', whatever that is, but we now do more important things. Things that religious people were supposed to do but didn't. we give charity, we have NGO's working for oppressed communities, uplifting the blind, hungry, etc. The old generations did no such thing. You would tell the blind man to pray to God, only to starve him to death. We don't let that happen. We don't follow a caste system. We don't believe in supestitions. We don't do dowry.
Some people say that the youth have taken to drinking, smoking, violence and doing lustful(and sinful) acts. If somebody plays a first-person shooter game, these people stand back and say,"Arey! This fellow is violent. He is cold-blooded.".Blah. Just because a person drinks alchohol doesn't mean they go and beat people up. Infact, these 'cold-blooded' types are those who were brought up in families with an orthodox background. I don't see techie teenagers murdering people. These 'purists' are so blind that they can't see we are much better off. Hmph.
PS: For some reason, I am highly unsatisfied with the above write-up.
