I am terrified. Terrified of what the future holds. Not for
me, for ‘man’ in general. Recently, I have had few shocking (if I may use that
word) experiences interacting with the ‘young’ generation. (didn’t even realize
when I grew out of that). I think ‘Values’ is an endangered species. And we
need to work to save it. I love the animals, but I think this is a bigger and a
core problem.
A school going kid, carries the most advanced phone (I don’t
have a problem with that) TO SCHOOL (that I have a problem with). Tell them to
respect their teachers, and they laugh at you like you are performing for them.
I think how you behave on a sports field tells everything about
you. Kids these days don’t even know the meaning of ‘Sportsman Spirit’.
Teamwork, discipline, these are all forgotten concepts. If you are a sportsman,
a true sportsman, you have to know to lose graciously. It’s a sport, one has to
win and one has to lose. You give it everything you’ve got, you play to win,
but not at ANY cost.
They are not to blame for how they have turned out. They are
products of the generation before them. Who, honestly speaking are not so bad. But
what terrifies me is this. If we gave way for such a generation, imagine what this
generation will give way to.
