The majority of people in this day and age seem to no longer understand the meaning of morality. Its understood that no human being is born good or bad, but we are raised in either category. Fault can be laid on the parents, caretakers, and/or mentors of the child, yet one still has the ability to think and choose as they wish. However, this is not the case in most kids and adults alike. Most people allow many different variables dictate their opinions and decisions. Such variables include: peers, close friends, family, television, literature, music, and all other forms of media. An example of this is when a five year kid is with his best friend and he tells him that his favorite color is white for no particular reason. However, his persuasive friend tells him that his favorite color should be black because this, this, and that. The kid now believes that black is not only his new favorite color but it is the best color. This is depressing because over time this will happen repeatedly to a point that the kid no longer thinks for himself and he begins wearing the clothes people tell him to wear and listen to the music people tell him to listen to. Now when he wants to know what his new favorite color is (sort of speak) he has to ask a friend or watch T.V. or put on a track. The problem with these influences is not that they exist necessarily but that most of the time the decisions that are made are not always the best. I'm not one who judges nor do I criticize on others actions for once one acts, rather they do because they want to or someone else wants them to, the action is their own. And who am I to take that away from they? Sometimes that is all they have left. As always I would love to hear what you have to say leave comments, reviews, etc. down below. And if you have the time be sure to check out my Knights of Dawn prologue on my profile or on the Adventure/Action fiction forums.
One thing that's sad is the lack of attention to good literature. One can find an entire secontion of dime-a-dozen romance novels, but few actual good reads.
