The youth of today....

When we look around the world; and feel despair; at some of that; which goes on..

We may; quite reasonably; ask ourselves

 "What hope can there be for (wo)mankind...?"

Well it might help; for a start; if we could all try to be a fraction kinder to one another....

But also kinder to ourselves.....

Give ourselves a break...

Youth is not wasted on the young. It is theirs to luxuriate in; it's not their fault; if we feel frustrated by what we did; or didn't achieve with our earlier years....

So let's not be curmudgeonly about their high spirits; or sneer at their 'out there' ideas.

 Even the most apparently 'mainstream' of activities; that we engage with nowadays; was new 'once upon a time'..

So let's encourage them in their endeavours; however they might manifest.... 

These youngsters very often feel small; even as they act 'big'...

Let them fill themselves up; right up to the edges; with themselves.

 Let's acknowledge their efforts...

Everyone; appreciates some appreciation.

Then prepare to be awed; and astonished; at what the fresh lot can do; and can be........

But there's really no rush; they have that ultimate luxury.....Plenty of time.

Lucky buggers!
