Do you think the teens of our generation need a reality check? Why or why not?
Yes, but, I wouldn't say just teenagers; there's blatantly teenagers who don't require a reality check and are quite in tune with their cosmic priority, however, also vice versa. I would rather simply say anyone who has lost themselves in their delusions. A lot of us hold our delusions very close to our heart and consequentially birthing adversity for ourselves and others. The poetry of reality is immensely more beautiful than the poetry of fairytale delusions that we justify adherence to. Romanticization of our suffering and escapist, defeatist desires; unconditional obedience to authority figures; submission to the machinery of anti-thought: these things mean the death of us. Life, reality, the Universe is too beautiful to be obscured by petty adversities.
The youth, should be a large focus, however. If we focus on the developmental stages of life, we should see a more in tuned world. Our adolescence is where we cultivate our perspective of reality, a perspective molded and conditioned by our environment, guides and guardians. If you live an adverse childhood, you're more than likely to live an adverse life and cause more adversity. If you live a prosperous childhood, you're more than likely to live a prosperous life and cause more prosperity. And if we begin to cultivate desired circumstances by way of enlightenment, we ought to see more prosperity in the childhoods of our youth and a painstaking decline in adversity. It's highly uncommon to see elders change their perspective of reality because their delusions have been so deeply embedded through decades of conditioning, so it's detrimental we attempt to enlighten our youth for they pave so much. We don't have to mourn our submission to undesirable circumstance--we all hold an innate ability to cultivate desired circumstances. We must recognize this primal potential for the sake of ourselves and others.
