In life it is common to use phrases to refer to certain situations in life. There are phrases that are commonly used to describe personal or third party skills. The use of these phrases is not bad, as long as one knows and is aware of what they may mean or what consequences they may have.

Of all the phrases I have heard, there is one that I consider very dangerous and is used, for the most part, by people of my own age or close to it. THAT MY SON HAS WHAT I DIDN'T HAVE. Generally this phrase leads to the thought that one will try to give the children what one did not have in childhood or adolescence. As a father it is normal, I think, that one wants to try to make one's children happy and above all to cover those likes or desires that they have and not leave them with the sadness of not possessing certain things as one experienced.

This is good. In fact the saying goes that YOU WANT THE BEST FOR YOUR CHILDREN. I see the problem when the first phrase I mention in this writing becomes a tool for not instilling certain things that are very important to me in the creation of a positive personality in a being who is growing up in a system of brutal consumerism.

I remember that in my day, for example, if I wanted something, a toy, an outing with my friends, an item of clothing, I had to meet certain parameters of effort. Reward for work done. And it wasn't that I had to build a 7-story building or create a sustainable and non-polluting fuel to market it. I simply had to keep good grades in my studies, tidy my room, perhaps the strongest thing was washing my father's car. This kind of effort was rewarded by buying things I wanted, whether it was clothes or toys or any other artifact I wanted. Money to go out for ice cream with my friends, go to the movies and the like. Value for what I was given, I earned.

I see the situation as bad when many friends and acquaintances rely on the phrase to give their children everything without teaching them the value of things. Hence, this generation, which is the future of humanity, has no appreciation for the things they possess because, for personal consideration, they have not learned to earn them.

The operation of the breasts to the girls as a gift of 15 years. The motorcycle to the boy who turns 16 and other types of situations, in different ages of the children's growth, are creating a devaluation of things and this leads to a deformation of the social parameters.

The child who wrestles with the floor because he wants something from the toy store and the parent who buys it for him so that he doesn't keep throwing tantrums. This situation teaches the infant to create manipulation to get things and does not learn that with good behavior he could get it better.

What is silly to bring this up? So tell me, by what criteria does this child grow up? How do you take away what he has learned when he is no longer a child? How do you re-educate him when the situation is no longer sustainable? So I assume that it is normal for a boy raised under these precepts to love himself by committing suicide if you don't buy him the last cell phone on the market or a car or whatever he wants.

In most families, there is no longer a code for earning an honest living. Hence, there are many situations that generate the formation of a generation without ethical values and without personal values. Stupidity, facilitation, the fast track have led to an increase in scams, robberies and prostitution. As failed parents it is easier to say that schools are not like they used to be where they educated students well. That the way to educate well has been lost in institutions of this type.

I remember, or at least it has always seemed that way to me, that my education was acquired at home. My values, ideals, were instilled in my home, by my parents. That school, high school and university, gave me knowledge, something very different from education. Again with the confusion of concepts.

You cannot give the responsibility of education to a third party in order to get rid of a burden. Why have children if it will be a burden for you to raise them? Are you sure that giving them everything without educating them in the value of things will erase the frustration you have since your childhood?

For me this is the main problem and when you try to make them see the mistake they are making because you really care or appreciate both parents and their children, usually the answer you get is THAT MY CHILDREN LIVE AND HAVE WHAT I DON'T HAVE. One is left in a state of shock without believing the quick way out of a ridiculous situation created by a bad concept of education.

So, how can I criticize the generations that have taken over from me for the way they are, if many members of my generation who should have educated them have not done so in a logical way? Or so I believe.

How can I criticize these relays when they give more value to such banal or fashionable things that lack any logical sense? How can I understand the way of thinking of these generations that are coming behind? I think it is impossible and even more so when they were raised under those concepts that have become commonplace among them. Even more so if many of our generation act the same way they do.

Hence the dominance of the old political and economic power foxes is becoming easier and easier. If you have no one to stand up to, as those who might have the power are easily and effortlessly bribed. If nothing has value for those who should value, nothing is important and nothing is lost.

How rude.
