Immaturity

I know, there is always a period of time where we are growing up, given the normal condition on how normal parents raise normal kids under normal circumstances, immaturity prevails, in kids.

You might see some small kid behaving like an adult, well, most probably he/she has gone through severe obstacles or hardships in life, coarsening him/her into someone that uses one's brain. But oh well, this is the minority among us, like seriously rare.

Well, the immaturity I'm trying to discuss over here today is not about the physical development, but rather, more towards intellectual behavior, or in other words, naiveness.

Naive - Lacking experience, wisdom, or judgement. Rings any bell of someone in your head? haha.

Just scan through the social networking website nowadays and you will see lots of articles, medias, pictures etc etc flowing all over them, and then, you will read the comments thread (as for me la. lol), and then, here comes the SUPER FACE PALM for those thread.

You will see kids supporting the wrong cause, getting insanely angry over petite matters, vulgar words overwhelming the whole page and feeling self righteous by defending his/her words BY ALL MEANS.

There is also a trend where they will augment others' inferiority to diminish self-weakness, or the other way round for advantages.

Plain sad right? Seeing them as our future's hope. I know, we were in some stage like them, but it wasn't as seriously naive as them! And I couldn't believe that this wave of trend is getting more and more common, without being emphasized as a problem by others.

There's a picture with a cartoon figure scolding all bad words commonly used in Malaysia, and they were SO MANY LIKESSS and most of the commentators were proud of themselves for using it!

And there goes teenage girls sharing obscene pictures of sex, marriage life, couples etc etc you name it, that its all related to girls-guys relationship. It is as though she's suggesting she's open for any free relationship with anyone! Maybe we can forgive her because she's 17? You see how serious this matter goes? Naive. They just don't know the implication of their actions.

The lack of empathy towards others, and the sense of sympathy is also a matter worth looking into.
Cases of tragedy, accidents or mishap can be MADE FUN by others and even some commented that 'oh, what a waste for it to be not more severe . Whatttt?!?!

Sad la. seriously. sigh.

That's why I think youngsters nowadays have to be exposed to religion, if not, life philosophy or correct views of life. If not, moral implications and lessons will be something theoretical/virtual or obsolete in real life!

Have you ever, EVER touched anything relating to philosophy, or some questions that has deeper meaning other than all these superficial, physical means that we are living with everyday, in your life?

Worth pondering.
