Ah, da yutes of today, truly a generation "lost in space."
Fixated more on how they look, how many "likes" they get, and what's
on their phones, than in what's going on in the rest of the world. Today's
younger generation may be the most immature, self-centered, uneducated…well,
let's just let the Bible explain what this generation is like, shall we? Timothy
3:2-3: But
understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be
lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient
to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous,
without self-control, brutal, without love of good…
Ouch. God doesn't mess around. Yes, that Scripture applies to the
entire world, but it applies to the great number of young people today, who
are especially susceptible and easily swayed by all manner of movements, both
small and great. They simply react instead of being proactive by reading and
understanding all that there is to know about anything. This, in turn, gives us thousands of
young men who become nothing more than a man-child:
still living in their parents' homes and basements where they play computer
games all day (with other boy-men); or spend their time hanging out in
coffee shops, or skateboarding,
or being professional
protestors. They have no job, no prospects, and no desire or ambition to
even look for work. Conversely, today's girls and young women complain
that there are "no good men" around, yet they are obsessed with selfies,
clothing, makeup
tutorials, brows, thigh
gaps, and their pets
(replacing children). They get their information from social media, Buzzfeed, and the Liberal left, and
build for themselves self-imposed walls of toxic
feminism and utter hatred
of men. 1 Corinthians
13:11 has been completely ignored in this current generation: When I was a child, I
spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I
became a man, I put away childish things.
Worse, their immaturity and refusal to grow up and assume the role
of adults is leading to children begetting yet more children, who then are
being raised by parents with no real
understanding of HOW to parent,
how to BE a
parent, and what raising children really entails. And in many cases, the child
actually ends up parenting the parent.
Case in point: from the "Self-I
generation" comes the story of Alexi Halket:
Rather
than abide by the rules of common sense and the authority of the school she
attends, she instead demands that the school kowtow to her thoughts,
her wants, her desires, her needs, and turning what should
have been a simple case of "go home and change" to one of outright
rebellion against the authority of the school. Not
to go off on a sartorial tangent here, but crop tops, as a general rule, are rather
inherently "sexy." They expose parts of the body that regular clothes
typically cover, so of course in the hot summer months they are wildly popular
with teens and young women. But it seems obvious that Alexi doesn't quite grasp
what a crop top actually is. These are crop tops. But what Alexi
is advocating is more like a sports/exercise
bra, which are much shorter than, much more form-fitting than, and much
more skin-revealing than, your typical crop top. But rather than take the time to contemplate both sides of this issue, or come up with a more compromising solution, our gal Alexi decides to take
the low road full throttle:
"They’re
not even listening," Halket says of her opponents. "They’re just so
stuck in their mindset that they just retaliate like that. Why should I listen
to what they’re saying when I know I’m making a positive difference?"
Ah,
there it is. The archetypical self-righteousness of the Social Justice Warrior:
They are wrong. I am right. And because I am right, I will force them to do what I
want because I know better. Even if the vast majority and statistics
and many other opinions say otherwise. SJWs seem to be forever wronged by every rule they happen to disagree with, and with authorities they deem oppressive. If you listen
very hard, you can hear their rallying cry everywhere: I AM
SNOWFLAKE, HEAR ME ROAR...and then watch as I have a complete meltdown and
scream and cry until I get my way.
You also fail basic biology: males are hard-wired for visual stimulation.
It's not something they can just turn off like a light switch. So here you (and your friends) are, flesh-flaunting
in your crop tops, making it even more difficult for boys (and men) to look the other way (from which of course, you then complain that they shouldn't look at, or touch you). Self-control
applies to girls and women as well as boys and men. Remember the adage: just
because you can doesn't mean you should. But if you insist on making a point of
showing more skin than is necessary--simply because you don't want to
follow school rules--then you cannot complain when things go sideways. Because
they will. They always do. And you'll have no one to blame but yourself for
your predicament.
So
Alexi, are you really making a
"positive difference?" Doubtful. You're merely throwing a tantrum like a bratty 2 year
old because you didn't get your way, and your little feelings got hurt. It's actually you
who's not listening. You think you're being so "resist" edgy, but you are only helping to tear away the fabric of a civil society. Rules are not there to
make your life miserable, they're to keep you safe, and to keep you from making a
fool of yourself. What you're actually doing is making life more difficult and uncomfortable for everyone else, as well as making a
fool of yourself. The good of the one does not outweigh the good of the
many. Maybe some day you'll understand this, but from the way you are starting
your life with such a Leftist mindset, you may already be a lost cause.
Here's another example of the consequences of those who refuse to grow up. Here is Trump's fellow grabber, Billy Bush, beaming over his teen daughter:
But it's not for an award, or for prom, or for some other teen-related event, he's celebrating his daughter's...sobriety. Good grief. How
on earth did his CHILD get into a situation where, at the age of 15 or 16, she
was already abusing drugs or alcohol to the point that she had to go to rehab to become
sober??? Where were her parents? Where were the rules? Where was the
discipline? Where was the "training up a child?" Well, here's a giant clue about this particular family:
"Last summer, Billy and his wife got matching cross tattoos for Josie’s
18th birthday." This is exactly what is wrong with our society, and these people are leading the way. Again and again,
we see rampant immaturity, poor
decision making, and overall bad parenting. Getting a tattoo does not make you a
good parent, show your solidarity with your spouse or children, nor does it actually help your daughter. It just makes you another ineffectual parent with ink on your
wrist, and a teen daughter who has a major problem with drugs and alcohol.
The only one
who can truly help a family heal, grow, and remain healthy is Jesus Christ, the
"Great
Physician." But because Billy Bush and his family are entrenched in
the Hellyweird horror show, sadly, this will probably not happen. Billy and
his family are far and away from Matthew 7:26 - The rain fell, the
torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not
fall, because its foundation was on the rock [of Christ]. But everyone who
hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who
built his house on sand. They have built their lives on shifting sand,
and are reaping the results.
Dear
Jesus, please show your mercy on our nation where our children refuse to grow
up, yet are bringing more children into the world that will be deceived and
swayed by every little thing, like a house built on shifting sands!
