whitherin' youth.

i've been wandering as a result of which i've started wondering at the sad state of affairs the young man's heart is having. an young man should by the laws of nature or as i see it be full of life,must be having all the good things nature has bestowed on him/and the earth. i say if a young man isn't smiling or brimming with joy there is something wrong with the world. the world is right when the young are restless and the young feel the urge to be naughty (a diplomatic usage). the young rebel,the aged try to cage them,this is the way it should be,and that is when a cat is a cat and a mouse a mouse.

look around and i did,i saw no youth as an young romantic! where have all the "life is an open road" / "flower children" / "heroes" gone? we have lost the young man to history. Yes the " Establishment " has won....the 21st century will go down in history as the ' age of the establishment '. And with it " innocence has ended ".

the young were not polluted when young in the good old days i guess,but today it seems they come polluted....... the process of growing up in a system then " hating the system " and dying a "martyr" / changing it / attempt to change then fail / loving it (in some cases in the past,like George Orwell's 1984) doesn't happen anymore!

the stage of "questioning the establishment " happens no more,the system has changed so much,it has a place in it for the "rebels" too......a new kinda boxing bag given to the young to vent out their anger...so they can let loose and still love the system,if you want to "box" go box with the system rather than hit at the bag provided.

but the young are contended to do as asked,it's the system that asks questions now,not the rebels....."the end of history as stated by fukuyama was due to the fall of communism" but let me ask you isn't communism a romantic dream that smittens the young at first (not lookin at the leaders,they are old)......so if communism ended that means the young have lost the romanticism in their nature,for that political ideology thrives in this more than anything.

so history died yesterday,when the youth stoppoed dreaming of a place outside the system and started building castles in the air of homes in the system. the world thrives on change...and it's the youth that bring it, you can throw arguments like so long as science exists there will be change,i ask you will you guarantee me that science will give this worl a new generation of "flower children"/ "hell's angels" / or even " a rebel without a cause" ?
