In time past we have heard so much about all the good things and benefits our ancestors have enjoyed but then there were still Buts because they lacked so many things then compared to now and I will say it was so because that is how it was meant to be. Our forefathers had all they ever wanted because if they had wanted more, then they would have gotten it, but since they didn't it means they had no use for such things in their time.
In time before now, our fathers were more concerned of just reproducing children for either slavery or manual work and that was because they saw that was what they needed to survive. Then they believed that a girl or boy does not have the right to choose who he or she wants to get married to, they just betroth them to whomever their parents deemed fit. There are many flaws with our forefather's ways of living from day to day but then they were happy with it.
But comparing the way our forefathers lived to ours, I will say we have so many advantages to them but sadly the generation of today are smart but lack experience in things and that's why we are still feeling a little confused as to which generation is better but then I will say this generation is a lot better compared to that of our forefathers because we are privileged to have some people who have experienced both ages and they are helping us in this generation understand a lot of things better and I have seen that they appreciate so many things we are doing compared to their time.
The major problem we are having today is that we have too much pride in us just like our fathers, we don't like to be corrected, we don't like to be told what to do but we want to tell people what and what not to do and that is totally wrong. Our fathers acted the same way and we are still following in their wrong steps, instead of us to make better choices after seeing how they ended up with the wrong choices they made.
We should be more happier than our fathers because we have more privileges than them, we are no longer limited to think within a box, now we have the opportunity to let our imaginations run wide and bring solutions to problems we are facing today. We have freedom more than our forefathers had, some had to give their wives or daughters to people some even out of their own will just to acquire things for themselves but that is not acceptable now even though some still do them in the name of tradition.
This generation is blessed but then we are inexperienced to know how well to put our knowledge into good use and we most times end up using what we are privileged to have for the wrong things and these are the things that bring about sadness to ourselves but the good thing is we can always make amends and keep trying to get it right just like our forefathers did until it got to our turn. We should keep making the necessary adjustments so the upcoming generation will be better instead of us losing hope of it ever getting better.
We that are in this generation, we are more fortunate than our fathers because we have the opportunity to set things in the right place as it should be. Our forefathers no longer have that opportunity to put things in the place it should have been but then we have the opportunity to do so and for that we are really so fortunate and lucky. Let's keep building the best for the next generation that is coming after us so we can be in a position when our descendants won't be able to deny the fact that our generation was one of a kind in it's good conducts.
That's all for today, I look forward to seeing your contribution and others, they are all welcomed.
