For the Young People

A few days ago, I was the victim of a senseless, insensitive, and embarrassing prank from a group of young people.... Perhaps intended or unintended, the result and the effect, were nevertheless the same... It caused their victim pain.
I wanted to write and post a more scathing evaluation or assessment of today's youth, but my wife talked me out of it, reminding me that my kids were members of the same generation.
So let me just write a small rejoinder on the advises and article I wrote last night.
I am a great fan of this generation....you have exhibited sheer brilliance on every field.... from the academe to the arts...
But what may lead to your utter downfall, is your propensity for seeking cheap laughs or fun without once considering the consequences, foremost, among these, should be taking care not to hurt other people's feelings.
Your right to have fun should never take precedence over the desire to always be respectful, and your enjoyment should never be at the expense of other people.
This is where I have been greatly disappointed... That to a group where much has been given, the gifts have been abused and used for the wrong things.
I do hope they find the humility to reflect and realize the folly of their ways... before it leads them to more serious trouble.






Allow me give them some advice that they should remember for the rest of their lives....
Always be respectful of everyone.
Always be considerate of other people's feelings and don't get your cheap fun at their expense.
When you know you have offended someone, be humble enough to apologize.

God bless! God bless today's youth, our future depends on them.
