I AM BACK (if u can guess what i mean by this)

Have you ever been treated awfully, or treated others awfully before? Well, even though doing this might be due to one's inner weakness, it is not entirely your fault.

Then why?

Because our society is too weak and immature.

If you just want a short and sweet explanation or example, it will be: the fact that Xiaxue's blog and those of the same kind are so popular shows that our society is weak, and immature.

"They want war, then we give them war! We charge, we fight, we die, in honour! We stain the battlefield with our glorious blood, for our kingdom!"
"We want a peaceful world where everyone lives happily, and by working together it will be achieved."

Which speech is more moralising and persuasive? Of course a normal person would say it's the first one. However, as you think again, you are actually being moralised over war but not peace, and being persuaded for violence instead of peace?

Courage, it is about withholding violence.

So now, let's move on back to Xiaxue's blog and those of the sort. We can link these blogs all the way to modern teenagers having this kind of thought of "we teenagers deserve our rightful position in the society, we must show people our way, adults shall not control or limit us, they will hear our voice!". That is an immature thought. No, it's not their fault, they are just victims. Adults shouldn't just ground them or cane them or scold them, but adults also shouldn't think it's just that they are kids who got mistaken in their minds and went the wrong way and try to help them while containing that kind of thought in mind.

Just because our society is too weak and immature itself, it lacks respect.

Elders don't respect minors, while teenagers don't respect adults. So eventually everybody gets devoured by this vicious cycle. All the weaknesses get passed around and influence young people, adults overlook their children's needs, thus resulting in the teenagers becoming rebellious and immatured people. When teenagers use the word "fuck", they don't just mean scolding, what they are trying to tell, and to tell adults especially, is that they don't care about the virtual and physical boundaries adults set for them, yes, "To hear their voice". Subsequently, the later generations of children get influenced by their seniors, they themselves would also most probably experience the same miseries, which actually stack up with what their seniors have showed them, and the vicious cycle goes on and on... on and on towards our moral doom. The current older teenagers will become our elderly, the youngers ones will become adults, and they will give birth to children. Then the whole world will be in resultant chaos after a long-term effect.

We need to improve culturally, religiously, technologically, intellectually, but our greatest need is to improve morally.

People do not dare to tell themselves that they are wrong, and they respond in ridiculous and petty ways when they are told so. People do not have the courage to look into the past with their very own way, their own power, and their own beliefs. They are afraid to be left out and always make themselves think like how others do, and that eventually become their own way, dragging them into the cruel vicious cycle.

I personally believe in change, I believe that we can improve, humanity is flawed, but humans are always able of improvement. We must not be weak to accept the truth that we are wrong in some ways, and then we go for change. A new era awaits us. I'm not a saviour, nor am I a paladin. I just wish to help...

With respect comes everything, sensibility, consideration, tolerance and so on... most importantly, as people can get along better with one another, there comes happiness, wouldn't our lives be more wonderful by then?
