My Love My generation
Since my generation is being criticised so much, I think it’s
time for someone to speak out.
Not just someone, someone fantastic, extraordinary, special;
and that just so happens to be me.
At this very moment, I’m 16 years of age, live in North London
and I am classified as black British.
In theses 16 years, I've learnt something which is valuable and
goes beyond the preset norms of OUR SOCIETY.
I think, feel and know that the systems which are in place
have failed a lot of us. I say us as I am speaking on the behalf of MY
GENERATION.
We would like to think that love is what makes the world go
round... but hold on that’s money
We would like to think that love provides a happy life...
but hold on that’s a happy life
We would like to think that love is what holds everything...
but hold on what is everything in a world full of nothing. When the one you
made to be you’re everything, treats you as nothing.
It’s weird the bible tells/teaches us what love is in 1
Corinthians 13:4-8 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it
does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour
others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it
keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices
with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always
perseveres. Love never fails.”
It’s weird, in the number of years which I have been in various
intuitions. I've never been taught what love is and how it's supposed to feel. This is probably
the reason why my generation is either to quick or never does say “I love you”.
When you think about that’s probably the cause of most
problems faced by my generation.
Before you can love someone else you first of all have to
love yourself, but since we are never taught what love is....
True love causes people to feel happy, true happiness because
people to feel love; they are directly proportional.
Because we do not know how to make ourselves happy, we thus
try and make others happy so we have an example to learn and grow from.
In the case of teenage pregnancy girls and boys give up
their bodies, unprotected, in the attempt to feel something real;Love, but it
does not turn out the way they wanted to, and we all know how the story goes
from there.
Gang culture is simply just a fake source of love. You feel
isolated, lonely, unloved. So you turn to streets. Where you create or are even
giving a new identity, a fake one. This provides you with a false sense of
security, which you think gives a new persona but the pain and scars, are still
there.
Love can only be felt if you let it to be, and it’s not as scary
as it seems.
Love is a better drug than any type weed and a better weapon
than any knife or gun.
It seems by not knowing what love is, I now know what love is.
