― Robert Mugabe

― Kurt Cobain

“The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it.”

“From birth to death and further on

As we were born and introduced into this world,
We had a gift hard to express by word
And somewhere in our continuous road,
It kind of lost it sense and turned.

There was that time we sure remember,
When everything was now and 'till forever
Children with no worries and no regrets,
The only goal was making a few friends.

But later on everything has changed,
By minds that had it all arranged
To bring the people into stress,
Into creating their own mess.

We have been slaved by our own mind,
Turned into something out of our kind
Slowly faded away from the present time,
Forced to believe in lies, in fights and crime.

They made it clearly a fight of the ego,
A never ending war that won't just go
They made it a competitive game,
To seek selfish materialistic fame.

They turned us one against eachother,
Man against man, brother against brother
Dividing us by religion and skin color,
Making us fight to death over a dollar.

Making us lose ourselves in sadly thoughts,
Wasting our days by living in the past
Depressed and haunted by the memories,
And yet still hoping to fly in our dreams.

Some of us tried learning how to dance,
Step after step, giving our soul a new chance
Some of us left our ego vanish into sounds,
Thus being aware of our natural bounce.

Some tried expressing in their rhymes,
The voice of a generation which never dies
They reached eternity through poetry
Leaving the teachings that shall fulfill the prophecy

Others have found their way through spirituality,
Becoming conscious of the human duality
Seeking the spiritual enlightenment,
Of escaping an ego-oriented fighting

Science, philosophy, religion,
Try to explain the human origin.
Maybe changes are yet to come,
And it shall be better for some

Death's for the spirit not an end,
But a relieving of the embodiment
So I believe that furthermore,
We'll understand the power of our soul

But leaving behind all we know,
And all that we might not yet know
It all resumes to that certain truth,
That we all seek to once conclude.”
― Virgil Kalyana Mittata Iordache

“I wonder if it's suffering."
"What, our generation?"
"The baby!”
― Kenzaburō Ōe, A Personal Matter

“I think I said that every generation had its weaklings--that that was one of the penalties of greatness--but that their failings were seldom remembered by posterity.”
― Agatha Christie, Murder in the Mews

“According to H.G. Wells, you either adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature’s inexorable imperative. It is not necessary to change, after all survival is not mandatory

This generation might seem arrogant to the older generation due to some reasons. The older generation believes an older person or someone of higher authority is always right and being sceptical is an insult, lol

Our generation is full of people who are so skeptical, they wanna know why this is this and that is that, they don't just hear and believe, they hear, hear from other sides, look at it critically and express their opinions based on their conviction.

This generation is full of people who are somewhat confident cos they study, they observe and due to these, they are equipped with better information and like you know, knowledge is power. You know right from wrong, you know truth from lies.

When you are with those in authority and have this knowledge, an ignorant person of higher authority would be scared of you, feel threatened and might resort to maltreating and frustrating you, defaming your character etc

The older generation and the younger generation are usually having misunderstanding because the older generation are being deceived by pride, the younger generation due to their advanced education do not wanna give merit to whom it isn't due. While the older generation postulates that respect is not earned but compulsory for them to be accorded, the younger generation believes respect must be earned. lol

The older generation rules by fiction but the younger generation lives by facts. The older generation uses age to oppress, the younger generation uses their knowledge to defend.

The older generation believes they can never be wrong, the younger generation wants fair hearing, demands for it, if denied, they take it by force due to the confidence they've built around themselves.

The older generation is unfair to the younger generation, there was once a time they were listened to without doubts and opposition, this is the time for the younger generation to be listened to due to advancement in education and exposure.

The younger generation, due to their quest for higher knowledge through research, etc, they have realized the consequences of being ignorant and with their power of conviction, they are not letting the older generation have their autocratic ways affect them.

To the younger generation, one should be able to prove whatever he says, no more latent heresies and this is what the older generation don't wanna hear of.

The older generation wants to continue enslaving the younger generation but the younger generation is more equipped than the older generation and as such, not letting that happen.

Technology advances every day, the younger generation are ever ready to adapt to the changes but the older generation is not ready for that, they wanna remain stagnant and still have the say of the day.

Like George Bernard Shaw once said, the reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man”
― OMOSOHWOFA CASEY

“Your generation has been the target of incredible disinformation on the subject of premarital sex, which is another enticing addictive behavior to be considered. In this instance, our own government is responsible for much of the confusion. For some thirty years, federal and state programs have promoted a concept its promoters call" safe sex, "which refers to the use of condoms in sexual intercourse. Billions of dollars have been spent telling young people that they can have sex—lots of really good sex—without suffering from the consequences of it. Condoms, they say, will solve all the problems.”
― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: A Young Adult's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“We can be the very first generation which fails to see the logic or pride in defining ourselves by anything else but what is found within ourselves: our values”

“Njeriu jeton jo vetëm jetën e vet personale, por, me vetëdije apo pa vetëdije edhe atë të epokës dhe të bashkëkohësve të vet dhe, edhe në qoftë se do të ishte i prirur që bazat e përgjithshme dhe jashtëpërsonale të ekzistencës së tij t'i shihte si të dhëna në mënyrë të vetëkuptueshme, si edhe të ishte aq larg idesë për t'i kritikuar, siç ishte Hans Kastorpi shpirtmirë, do të ishte sidoqoftë gjithsesi e mundshme që ai t'i ndjente ashtu turbull mungesat dhe ndikimet e tyre në vetëndijimin e tij moral. Njeriut të veçantë mund t'i vegojnë para syve shumë qëllime, pikësynime, shpresa, perspektiva, prej të cilave ai merr shtysa për sforcime dhe veprimtari më të vrullshme, por kur jashtëpersonalja përreth tij, koha vetë, me gjithë përpjekjet e tij, u heq motivimin shpresave dhe perspektivave, në qoftë se ajo i shfaqet si e pashpresë, pa përspektivë dhe pyetjeve dhe pyetjeve të vëna, me apo pa vetëdije, por sidoqoftë të vëna në ndonjë mënyrë mbi kuptimin fundor, më tepër se personal, të të gjitha sforcimeve dhe veprimatarive, ajo u vë përballë një heshtje të shurdhër, kjo gjëndje e gjërave do të ushtronte një farë ndikimi paralizues qoftë edhe mbi karakteret më të mirëfilltë njerëzorë, ndikim i cili, përtej shpirtit dhe moralit, do të mund të shtrihej edhe mbi pjesën fizike dhe oraganike të individit. Për të qenë i gatshëm për një sforcim të madh, që sidoqoftë e kalon masën e atij të zakonshmit, pa qenë në gjëndje që t'i japë një përgjigje të kënaqshme pyetjes" përse "?, për këtë duhet ose një vetmi dhe pastërti morale që është e rrallë dhe e një natyre heroike, ose një vitalitet shumë i shëndoshë. Hans Kastorpi nuk e kishte as njërën, as tjetrën dhe nuk mund të ishte pra, veçse një i rëndomtë, ndonëse në një kuptim tepër pozitiv.”
― Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“Young people today are deeply passionate and crave authentic life based on truth. They're hungry to make a difference. They're willing to take a stand for whatever they believe, even to die for a cause. When they sell out to Jesus, they'll pursue a standard of righteousness that is greater than anything you and I ever saw growing up. Don't water it down. Don't lower the standard. And don't just settle for raising it-raise it higher. Believe in your children. Talk with them. Speak well of them. Encourage them. Pray for them. Celebrate the victories with them. Affirm their growth. We can raise a generation that, although they'll make mistakes, will sell out completely when Jesus grips them. They'll give Him everything. They'll make you proud by being even weirder than you are.”
― Craig Groeschel, Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working

“Mitume kumi na wawili wa Yesu Kristo waliamua kufa kinyama kulinda heshima ya mfalme wao Yesu Kristo, kama Biblia na historia vinavyosema. Kwa nini watu (wengine) wa kizazi hiki wanasema hakuna Mungu na kwa sababu hiyo hawamwamini Yesu? Je, uko tayari kufa kwa ajili ya mtu aliyekufa kwa ajili yako? Kwa ajili ya mtu ambaye mitume walikuwa tayari kufa kwa ajili yake? Je, wewe una akili zaidi kuliko mitume? Yesu aliamua kufa ili wewe uishi, lakini bado unakuwa mbishi. Badilika.”
― Enock Maregesi

― Sigurd Hoel, Sinners in Summertime

“The USA utility power generation industry subcontracts out their dangerous jobs so that the bad statisitics will not be associated with them. Smart people avoid working for the subcontractors. I have worked directly for a number of subcontractors and overseen subcontractors and their staff were clearly sick, showing behavioral problems and overworked. In some cases they were blatantly breaking OSHA laws. OSHA covers it all up! Unfortunately, the problems can be traced back to OSHA and their wilful lack of enforcement of the law.”
― Steven Magee

“We are a generation of everything temporary, masqueraded as engaged in patterns beyond the point, but relies too much on technology, and yet despite all of that, we no longer feel compulsive to connect with each other, and somehow that’s the reason some friendship doesn’t last, however, we have the sincerity to connect on a regular basis with a virtual audience and socialise on the internet.”
― Luan

“The destiny of future generations depends on our action today”
