CHOOSE TO BE DIFFERENT
Nothing
is sweeter and more satisfying than the feeling of living life and
achieving something worthwhile with a pure conscience.
Life will not give to you what you feel you deserve, but what you
make a demand for, and in dire situations it is quite difficult for
us to live without the things we desperately need. It is in moments
like this that our strength of character is being tested. It is very
easy to say you want to live right, but the actual reality is when
you are able to backup your words with actions.
Times
have changed and so has it been with cultures around the world.
Nowadays young people have gone haywire. Young girls walk on the
streets semi-nude or worst still completely nude all in the name of
fashion. They sell their bodies and even boast about sleeping with
every Dick, Tom and Harry, and even with some men old enough to be
their 'forefathers'. Some go as far as sleeping with animals
(bestiality), abuse social media by uploading their dirty pictures
and making meaningless posts without second thoughts of how damaging
it could be to them both in the present and in the future. It is now
a normality to find young people engaging in sexual relationships
just because they what to belong. Daylight murder of babies from
unwanted pregnancy and such anomaly is now seen as a modern trend.
For the ones saddled with keeping the babies, show no sign of remorse
or mental rehabilitation to right their wrongs just like their male
counterparts who are so engrossed in social vices. They pride in
their youthful exuberance. Where did we forget our morals? What do we
see today from our young men of today? Their absolute show of
irresponsibility and lack of purpose makes me wonder if there is any
hope left for humanity. Their strength which should be their glory
is now been channeled into crime. Their quest for power has led
majority of them into cultism. I can recall the words of English
Catholic Historian, Politician and Writer:
'Power
tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely...'
Hooliganism,
homosexualism, leasbianism, drug abuse, internet fraud and other acts
of perversion by these young people makes me sick and wonder if
they'll ever leave good footprints
in the sands of time. How did we consent to their dirty lifestyles
that seen them become prisoners in the gulag of mediocrity? Now, they
have also been possessed by the spirit of mammon as their insatiable
appetite for money has led many into evil and diabolic practices.
So
contemptuous is the fact these young people are encouraged by
negligent adults who are either parents or guardians also caught up
in the web of immoral life. The public officer who steals from the
government coffers? The clergy whose masked deceits has led many of
his sheep to hell? , the educator who miseducates a young child into
destruction?, the parents who are a shadow of themselves and are not
true role model for their children to emulate?, and I could go on.
The society prefers to celebrate “a Barrabas” who is evil and has
caused them pain, than “a Jesus” who is meant to be their
Saviour. A good
man
is not revered and is seen as the devil's advocate for his good
deeds.
Living in the society has never been more questionable than it is
now. Where do we go from here? It's time for us to live right. We
must challenge the status quo and be the change we want the world to
see. It starts with personal culture.
It's
time for a change. Remember, nothing changes around and about you
until something changes within you.
Cheers!
