You and I are in the middle.
Behind us is the age that saw girls being conservative and yielding to
servitude, without complaining about a mosquito bite. Ahead of us is a dreary
time that boasts dauntingly about progress in every bit that makes up this entire
world. This could mean passing the baton of seamless modernisation into the
tiny hands of future that already fears the time it will be forced to see.
What we see and live by
today are ideas that have evolved without an origin to revisit, without a
definition to fall under, without a clear future ahead. Ideas like love,
belongingness, openness, honesty, friendship, relationship and several others
constitute this day. They might have been a result of a changing or more comfortably,
an evolving mindset across the world. The people who belonged to a different
age that carried different notions and beliefs are today, willing to embrace a
sea wave of change everywhere. These are the people we call the novice modern
families.
The life these families have
seen is the life that has become the past, almost suddenly. They see different
ideas emerging each day. They apply a thinking cycle to time and follow it with
a realisation that there is really not much of a choice. They start to believe
that it will only make them partake in a bettering world, if they do so. This
then turns into a division in society – into three parts. One part constitutes the
‘acceptors’ that I have just described. The second is the ‘tolerant’ who
dislike the change but tolerate it as a result of a similar realisation of lack
of choice. The third is the ‘obstinate’ that have survived the change but have
their minds loyal to the age they grew up in. They live through this change,
charging into the future carrying the past with them.
As the world peers into
human psychology and discovers each day, new and astounding factors that affect
it, the time has come to now turn to a new phenomenon called the global psychology.
I do not intend to create a new research field but to only urge us to look at
everything in a fuller sense rather than in a disparate manner.
It only pains to see so much
disparity in the way humans think across the globe. With every new way of
thinking, a new problem emerges. Through these multiple perspectives, the
philosophy of right and wrong is forgotten. Nobody knows of anything that is
universally right or wrong, today.
There was a time when problems
had clear solutions. Now, problems themselves are unclear. The disparity
creates fear and this fear turns into a morbid emotion that is capable of consuming
mankind. The ones who are immovably stuck in this invisible turmoil is us, who
are growing to be the future of this evolving world.
We have the responsibility,
to filter out the good and take this world through to a promising tomorrow,
devoid of disparity and a more secured age. The question is not whether we are equipped
enough. The question is if we are ready and willing to, with all the existing
conundrums we are in.
If we do so, we will have to
worry less for the next generation. We will see the world pacing through without
side effects. We will see the world harnessing everything it holds just the way
we always wanted it to.
What are we to do - God
alone knows. Through all this, maybe there is just that One who doesn’t change,
that gives us hope for a better tomorrow. He.
