Growing Up Right: Values Today’s World Is Forgetting

This prompt seem so familiar but I can't remember if I gave a response to it or even what my response was. So I'll be attempting the prompt this time, from the angle I can think of right now. I could actually have a list of things I'd love to be brought back to life but I think I'll just focus on some for the way of life, a lot changed.

When I say a lot, they are so many ways of life I grew up to see people living that are no longer seen today. It's almost like we don't even have young people from that time who have become parents teaching their kids of today those ways they learned growing up. Most people seem to want to live life the way they want, modernized.

While that is great, there are ways of life that shouldn't go extinct because of that. We can become more modernized without having to loss our morals, love for humanity and the simple act of just living and appreciating little things. Nowadays, they keep preaching "appreciate little things" because we know people are neglecting.

Well, I think I've mentioned some of the ways of life that has gone extinct or are slowly fading away from our present day lives. Before I mention them clearly, I know there are still few people keep these things to heart and living these ways of life even when they are being discouraged so I am happy to think that there are people like that.

The first way of life I'd love to bring back is children growing with fear and respect for their parents/guardians and elderly ones. As sad and unbelievable it may sound, it is our reality today that children are growing up controlling their parents instead of the other way round and part of the reasons is that parents neglect their roles.

Nowadays, seeing a child who greets people without being asked to, helping without being asked and showing humility, respect and disciplined in what they know is right that they've been taught... Such a child is praised beyond normal because we've slowly come to a world where such children are hard to find or raise.

How about bringing back the way of life when people had to talk with friends, family members and spend more time away from their phones than with their phones. I know so many have to be on their phones to make money, which is important to meet up in our present world but I don't think it justifies the silence in homes today.

I'd also wish we could bring back the way of life when we couldn't stay long away from home, not to hear from our loved ones. It hasn't gone very bad but nowadays a reshare, a like, a one-line chat, a brief call and almost rarely video calls are what people mistake as the bond they are building with their loved ones who are far away.

There's more to life than what we see people turning to normal today, if we could bring back the life where we all understand the importance of family, love and making the right choices even while we embrace technology, a lot will be better for our living. Anyways, they are what we could work on as they are not impossible reach I hope.
