On another corner two or three guys are bopping their heads to the loud music, swear words violating the neighbour's eardrums and the little innocent girls playing in the roads.The guys sound like they are from another planet as they are speaking an undecipherable language consisting of words like, YOLO, SWAG, TRIPPIN, HOLLA.
Thanks to the internet and media we manage to access and understand other people's cultures but however the blessing of the internet is also a curse.Child pornography, easy access to inhuman religious practices and the such.Our minds have so much become soaked with this that you ask yourself how our future will be like.
Okay that is the youth right.Lets see if the adults are any better. Check in the road, that fancy and expensive car driving past by you. The old man driving by with his daughter and oh he stops to drop his daughter before he goes to his friends right? Wrong that is an old man dropping a young lady, because the media has fed her with the information that a guy's wealth is love, she does not see the guys of her age because as society taught her a woman can not support herself and as media taught her, the cookie jar between her legs is a money spinner.
You wonder what is happening with the old man's wife.Home alone and the love is gone because old man found a younger bustier lady.What does the wife do, she has money right, goes on social network and offers some young guy to love and provide for him.Since SWAG and YOLO do not get you a job, the young guy sees this as an opportunity to get easy money and come back home to treat his girlfriend with the money he got from sugar mummy.
Both mum and dad are not home so the kids are free to watch and listen to what they want.Music videos promoting sex and the use of drugs.Cartoons promoting violence and the use of supernatural powers.This will slowly shape what type of person the kid will be.
In the ghetto, someones mother woke up early in the morning to go and clean Mr Jones house.Since she never got a chance to have formal education she works hard for her kids to get a chance she never had.She spends the whole day with Mr Jones' kids teaching them as an African woman was born to do.However she gets home tired and does not have a chance to teach or do the homework with her kids.The money is too little and some years down the line she can not continue to send her kids to school.The boy looks for a job and becomes the gardener of Michael, who is Mr Jones son.
This leaves you wondering when will the cycle end.Well it begins with you.You might not change the world but strive to change the way you think. Do not let the ways of this world or its standard shape your life.You have to shape the world to be what you want it to be.We might not be living in a perfect world but lets start shaping the world to be a better place for those that are coming.Our duty is to preserve the same world that we are destroying.It start with you then you help another.In closing digest on these wise words by Mother Theresa, 'A CANDLE LOSES NOTHING BY LIGHTING ANOTHER'
