Transition of molecules into protons: reference to society

 

I was viewing an old Bollywood movie of the 1950s. Some of the septuagenarian elderly were forlorn and discussing amongst them God only knows how our society is going to be with youngsters that are not listening to our generation. Moral values are going down. The youths of the next generation are different. They are adopting western lifestyles and forgetting our culture and heritage.

   It suddenly dawned on me that these are the same words we have been telling our next generation, now in the year 2020. So people have not changed their opinions over the decades. About 70 years have passed away, and the elder generation is seeing the next generation as different from them. So is it a slow and steady change of cultural richness over the decades? Is the next generation always bent towards lifestyles different and unacceptable to the previous generation?

  Is morning walk alone understood to be the panacea for all maladies, be it physiological or psychological? Why is the present generation not accepting yoga and pranayama as the ultimate ways to overcome ill effects that are grappling the mankind of the present day? Why is roti and dal chaval seen old fashioned compared to burger and pizza? Will the present lifestyle that has encompassed work from home, 24x7, packed food, can juice, chemically preserved bottled vegetables, sedentary jobs, remote-controlled operated appliances, artificially intelligent driven cars going to make humans into humanoids. 

   Whether ours is a specific age that is visualizing and comparing factors in societies of earlier generations with the next generation? Are we myopic about the lifestyles of the young generation? Were controlled, and interwoven, but unwritten social customs of the previous generation to which we belong conservative and anti-progressive? And is the present one that is more of protonic (protons of the nucleus) in nature more inclusive and progressive beyond our generation can understand? Each member of this young generation is charged (in the language of physics) in his exclusive manner. Are examples of our time obsolete, and so not be quoted because it is like comparing a molecule with a proton?
