Kids nowadays expressed their views more 'strongly' to the point of disrespect towards their elders.
But is it really the case?
My parents have told me never to talk back to one's parents, no matter the circumstances. But what if you are not talking back, and is merely expressing your POV or what you think is right.
We know that they have been in this world longer than we'll ever be. But should we really engrave this notion in our minds and blindly follow their decisions? Not in every instance what they say is the truth. But what IS truth? Everything is subjective!
Say, if you have experience, you grow wiser and make fruitful decisions. But what of lust? Authority? Power, etc.
As far as we know, it makes the adults have fucked up decisions.
At times, I feel an adult is doing what they themselves haven't done when they were young.. To talk back, to make their own decisions, to fulfill their desires, and at times, to be free, to feel loved, etc.
At home, our parents 'governed', and we are the followers, the people. Then, when we grow older, the cycle repeats. Does the void go deeper, or do you simply start over?
Weeeell, I'm not trying to start an argument. And I'm not saying there is a 'perfect' family. Nor do I have qualms about the imperfection of our life.
It is just sad... And we need to live with it. More so to people who deal with abusive parents or who doesn't have one.
So what are your thoughts to construct a seemingly 'happy' family? What kind of rules, if ever you have one, do you want to follow?
