How to grow yourself without getting help from parents
It is widely acknowledged in today's society that teenagers do not aspire to become adults, and that adults retreat to youth. The 'death of the father' is what we are seeing. All the metaphorical forms of the father and his authority vanish.
Being halfway grown is rewarding. As a result, the reins—which are ingrained in all traditional teachings—that govern impulse control, suppression, and discipline are released.
People in the modern day feel more liberated as they shed the constraints and constraints of the past. When parents go back to being kids, kids who are left alone are expected to mature as quickly as possible.
Of course, youngsters are unable to accomplish this; they are confined to a state halfway between childhood and adulthood.
Every generation sees a decline in the role of parents. Without appropriate parenting, children are deprived of an adult role model to aspire to when they become parents. All we perceive when we look at maturity is nothingness and confusion.
We are dealing with a society in which everyone believes they are entitled to everything, people yell at one another for slights, and it is getting more and harder to locate a legitimate authority figure who will appease everyone.
Technology is also dumbing people down in a world where godless economics has swept everything away and capitalism has declared its ultimate victory. I see the light from every home's television via my flat window.
Intellectual competency is declining while ignorance is rising due to media technology. Young individuals with reduced mental abilities find it challenging to comprehend their surroundings.
Thus, they are readily drawn into the clutches of soulless materialism by mass culture, where they become unwitting accomplices of corporate capitalism. A generation that has lost its direction and spirit is rife with hopelessness. It gets simpler to trick kids when the father is hurt. The
Losing the father's legitimacy entails losing a wise guy who will mentor and counsel us in our later years in addition to losing a well-respected role model from our early years. This is a situation that isolates guys and has the potential to cause a generation of men to lose their identities. Along with the father, maturity and accountability are also lost. An adult
is someone who doesn't look for thrill, comfort, or instant gratification. An adult arranges their life based on their past, present, and future. He gives his children a legacy of the future while carrying on the lives of those who came before him.
He does not pursue his own interests in life. The adult sets an example for the younger generations by embracing the maturity and sense of responsibility that come with age.
Parents mimic their children's hedonistic behaviour. Everyday enjoyment and pleasure are the purpose of life. People who are unable to grow up and do not wish to grow up so come to light. People who solely think about themselves raise the flag of narcissism atop society's towers.
Is it possible to eradicate narcissism and revert to a caring ethic in which everyone feels accountable to one another? From early childhood until old age, we must use empathy and compassion as our compass for this. Life is not something we do for ourselves alone.
The sage Indians claim, "We borrowed the world from our children."
Our needs must be controlled so that they become a morality or cultural norm. Parents will be less likely to mistreat and forsake their kids for personal gain, or to utilise them in a narcissistic manner.
