They’re in trouble because of a past that has nothing to do with them.
There’s a saying from the Bible (the Bible being another rulebook for its religion only, not necessarily the rulebook for the entire world) that says – The sins of the fathers are visited upon the children. Simply put, this means that mistakes made by previous generations will be made by, and become burden to, the newer generations if they are not corrected in time. Not all kids are angels, but neither were (or are) their parents. Parents should never blame their children, especially in their teen years, for trying to work out exactly how life should be lived. Because children are raised by their parents’ ideals, who were raised by their parents’ ideals, the children often pick-up on their parents’ mannerisms. Often they pick-up the genetic faults as well, like disease or even depression, via genetics. They will agree with their parents for as long as it serves them, and then one day they’ll think – “This way aint’ working – I have to find another way’. And this is not out of rebellion, it is simply because their parents’ ideals do not suit our time. Our time poses as many challenges as the elders faced, no doubt, yet they are different. These days, one has the right to insist - in a court of law - that they were not in the wrong if they weren’t. In days of old, they had less say in authority’s power over them. This can be seen by witches being burned at the stake for offering plants as a remedy to the common cold. Sometimes the authorities are not provided with the correct information, or information that could stand in the person’s good stead is withheld or destroyed, much like many of the Gnostic teachings were destroyed after the Bible was written by the Romans; the same people who crucified the man they say humanity should worship. Again, it makes no sense. And so, we find teens being subjected to rules that were fine for times of old, but not these times. We want to raise thinkers and creatives, capable of lifting humanity into a new realm of peace, equality and love. These ideals cannot be taught or insisted upon by those who chose war in the first place. Perhaps the worst consequence of ‘the sins of the fathers’ was a financial one. After the Wars, some countries were in debt and had to borrow money from other countries to keep afloat. Since that time so much debt has been incurred, as some of these countries were never able to pay back their initial debts yet were granted further loans. And now, those who voted for a government that chose to loan instead of finding another system of equality for their people are deceased. Yet, the debt still remains. Who will pay these debts in the long run? The children – and it’s their generation and the generations that will follow them who will have to work endlessly at paying severely-inflated taxes, in order to pay the debts of their forefathers. And that’s just not fair. Enter the rebels.
