This topic not only tampers with your inner self but it's a broad matter that involves a clear mind and relaxation when at least trying to understand my writing. The minute we are brought into this world, our life expectancy is long and prosperous, by our close ones. Everything is harmonious and joyful, while our youth is immature. As days go by, the youth is "molded" by his parents or by a superior like the ordinary orphan. Obviously these kids are lucky, given the fact that some grow up on the streets and get introduced to an exacerbated behavior at a young age in many poor countries.

Everybody, as I recall, is entitled to prosperity and a lucrative life. Nothing comes easy in this world; unfortunately, many are impatient and want it right away. Some youths are prey of a hostile society and a fantasy world on T.V. But who is the one to blame for a child or a grown up that thinks of his/her life as worthless and without a good future? Pardon me for my negativity, it's just that we see this go on everyday and everywhere. It's our morning cup of coffee by the news, on tv, newspaper; so much negativity is contagious.

Is the problem where they live? Who their friends are? the way they are treated at home? What they watch on tv? Or the simple fact of lack of determination for a better life? I'm sure it's a little of everything, and when put together is sort of a snowball effect. As apoplectic as it may sound, a great part of society doesnt value life the way it should. A great part of society is not contributing to make it better, so they decide to take valuable life away from the people who want to leave behind something on earth that will outlast it.

It's very unfortunate, but its not just reality, its actuality. So what can we do to value life more and make sure our kids live a healthy and prosperous one? What can we really start doing for the future of society for the better? For a less cruel and more beneficiary life for the ones around us. Is more way the answer? Maybe, but if you think that that is our way out, you haven't paid any attention so far. The answer lays everywhere you go or even in your own home. By making sure the future generations are aware that life has no price.

To teach them morality and good ethics are essential for good roots. So when grown, the great majority become a positive life for society. Because a negative life slows down our growing future. Instead of going forward, we are going backwards in this case. I'm sure if this is implied rigorously, the world will be a better place, not just for you, but for your kids and their kids. Unfortunately, my current powers are limited and all I can do is write about educated thoughts that fulfill me because I know at least whoever reads this article will agree about what I propose, even at least in some part.

Like Henry David Thoreau said, "All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant". He is absolutely right about it. This leads to the step where the person traces goals to achieve for their own benefit. A person without goals is missing out on a crucial part of life. And even when you achieve it, there should be another one waiting for you; sort of like bills. You pay one, and for sure the next one comes soon. My suggestion is a very humble one for a better life, attainable and sincer. An open mind is also a must, if not, you wont even crack the shell of the idea.
