Different people, different age, different gender and lot of other differences make us view and value in each items in our life differently ..... of course. But for us to be together and live together in harmony and happily, we must have some similarity. Some values that we agree on it. Like our belief in good and bad. Most of us share the same value on what we perceive to good or bad. Basically, most of us agree on the basic principles of life.
When we grow older, the more we learn and understand about ourself, our life and the life around us.We adjust and we adapt to new people, new surrounding, new job, new weather and lot of other new things along the way. We learn from our mistakes and achievements. I mean ..... we should learn something right ...??
Now, it is the 21st century. Computers are widely use. People communicate with other people who live half-way around the world easily ...... as if we are talking to our next door neighbour. Most of us has mobile phone. Some of us ...... have more than one. Some people, they don't even have to go out from the house to earn money, because they are working from home. The way of living is changing and some of it is really, really changed.
Okay, whether you realised it or not ....... the world and the way of living on this world is changed and still changing. Doesn't matter whether you like it or not. It is beyond our control. What can we do? We must adapt to the changes. Try to make the best from the changes. Try to live in this world but at the same time maintaining the good values of life.
We have to live in the present and learn from the past. Please....... please...... and please! Move on! Please do not practise ALL the things you used to do in this present world. Ya Allah! Please Bless me. Amin. I am so tired living around people who is still living in their life 20 years ago or 30 years ago or even older than that. I'm not saying that I'm young. This is not about old or young but it 's about adapting ourself into the present with a broader perspective.
Honestly, I truly, truly enjoyed the way I lived in 20 years ago. There's absolutely nothing wrong about it but we cannot compare the past and the present.Do not start your conversation with 'those days ........ 'especially when you are talking to the younger generation. Of course it's different because we are now at the present. Do not continuously tell this younger generation on how hard your life was. Most of them ..... cannot appreciate that because the did not experience it. Do not tell about how things being done in your time because they never seen the way it's being done before. Do not tell them that they are wrong when you don't know the right way. In summary, they are just different.
Yes, the new generations are different but it doesn't mean that we cannot instil the good value into them. It doesn't mean that they cannot have the same basic principle of life. They have to know all the good things and to continue with the good value of life. It's just that we have to adapt to their way of learning, communicating and how the see things around them. So, it's up to us to be more adaptive and creative in instilling the good values into them.
The most important thing is, we must change our perspective. We must learn to see things in a wider context. Start thinking with a broader mind. Move away from 'those days .......' Lead the young with being together teaching and learning with them.
