Change is constant and inevitable. The only permanent, definite law of life is change. Today's generation has grown up in a world of privilege and raised under parents who yearn to provide happiness. However, people lack the understanding that happiness comes from within. Happiness is a choice and because the world is constantly in motion, the reliance on happiness from outside will only provide disappointment. Instead of scolding this generation, scold the generation before them who raised them in the way they did. Parents want to protect their child from the world when instead, they should be bracing their kid(s) for what's to come and the meaning of their existence. I am the generation in which the judge wrote to and am saddened by my own behavior up until the point I became aware; I learned why I exist, and that is to grow and to help those around me grow. So to the parents-- Be honest. Be authentic. Be true to your children and give them the space to grow as an individual. Let them learn from their mistakes without labeling it as failure. Be loving instead of fearful and treat them as adults, if you want them to act like adults.
