Youth is such a beautiful time. It shows man the potential that he still has to conquer, something that has brought him to Earth, to fulfil a purpose, to conquer the whole world, and when he feels that he can reach out to the sky, with his feet firmly grounded. However, the time of youth is not just about iron will and purpose, this is also a time to enjoy and feel heavenly. It is a bold time to explore the world, having come out from the insecurities of the teen age, and this is a time when all barriers are broken. It is to be noted that youth need to be nurtured, and this abundant source of energy needs to be tapped in the right way. Youth are prone to be misguided, as we have witnessed in the scourge of terrorism that has plagued the world since long. But hold on, this write up is not about the dark times and sad things in the world today, this write up is about truth, love, beauty, color and celebration.

Youth is something when man is at his prime, however, he needs to tread carefully, since the helping hand of wisdom is yet afar, and if he choose to learn by himself, then the risk multiplies, since wisdom is yet to come. For when wisdom comes, he is probably past the youth and energetic times of his life. However, the hot blooded youth that have iron will and determination to make a mark in the world need to tread their way carefully, for they need to understand that firmer their ambitions and plans, stronger and more powerful will be the opposition to their plans.

However, youth need not to budge, but they need to tread fearlessly on their chosen path, when they don’t feel ashamed of anything they are doing, when they feel that everything is on their side, and when they feel they are doing some that has the affirmation of God the Almighty. And in this situation, youth does not reach its potential alone, the company a man keeps makes a strong impression during that important stage of his life, and also the repercussions of the time man spends as youth are felt in the latter part of his life. Youth makes or breaks a person, and society at large needs to understand the importance of this resource that they possess, and hence need to take every step to nurture the  youth and show them the right path. However, the society should understand that maturity and wisdom lies in the fact that they can only show the youth the path they need to tread, walking the path is a decision that youth have to take themselves, and one cannot force the youth to heed the voice of reason.

The prime of life known as the youth is a time when man molds himself to face the subsequently challenges in the life he has yet to live, something that would stay with him right till the old age. And therefore, it is important that youth have their head held high and take pride of their actions and exercise the power they wield responsibly. It is therefore the collective responsibility of the society not to be an impediment in the aims of aspirations of the youth of today, instead, they need to be gentle and understanding and patient in dealing with their youth and not crushing them as they did with the Chinese uprising in the late eighties or in the repression of the student movements in Europe. Such type of forbiddance will anger the youth and once angry youth take to the streets, it is quite difficult to make them see reason.

Youth is a stage of celebration, a reason to live life and reach out to the entire world. Let us all recognize this and keep this in mind that once youth who may be misguided now were the favorite children of some proud parents and may become wise men of tomorrow, and hence it is always necessary to give them a chance to flower and bloom to the fullest.

Stay warm and youthful as always. Image courtesy: hdwallpapers.in
