IBCY

It doesnt stand for anything, i just made it up, but
it says Indian Born, Confused Youth. The youth of today is an
ammalgamation of eastern and western culture. we are taking up
the freedom of westren culture while, keeping in with the traditions
of our own culture.

But dont you think this is making us more confused. Lets
start with with our own culture. Our culture is more introverted.
it dosnt teach us to be free or do what we want to do , but instead
it teaches us to be compitive , do what our parents want us to be,
in general do what everybody except us want us to be.

In Western culture, its slightly opposite, it teaches us to
be free, free of thought , free of bonding , fell free to do whatever
we want to be, no one should preach us what to do, no one to take
care of us, just I and Myself.

The problem: the youth trying to have both the cultures in
their conscience. trying to be free while having cultural values of
our ancestors. So this makes their brains to be half baked both ways.
They should have a clear idea of what they want to be and what they
what they want to do. The cultural gap between the two opposite
mentalities is huge, embracing both is very difficult, except if he
takes some things and improves it to fit that thing into other.

Ok let me explain. Everybody likes to be free , but freedom
brings a kind of confidence which is good but when you have more
confidence you tend to be arrogant. This is somewhat disturbing.
Take some confidence of western culture, but mix it with the politeness
of our culture. This will be a good mixture, making you more confidence
but less arrogant. Freedom of thought brings more of creativity, so
it is very important , but freedom to do anything is giving you gun and
saying dont use it ( which you eventually would do , cause we always do
what we are told not to do).

Wll, this is just my view , which i want to develop in the future and
expand all the possibilities. Anybody reading this , please comment on
it, it will be really helpful. Thanks
