How come there are issues between young and old people?

How come there are issues between young and older people? The answer lies in propaganda as well as what is going on television. Younger people are easily influenced by what is watched on what people are calling an idiot box. The idiot box itself is classified as a television. How come there are issues between young people and old has a lot to do with Bible prophesy.

 Mark 13:8 says for nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be earthquakes in divers’ places and there shall be famine and troubles these are the beginning of sorrows.

This is something that is going on right now between countries worldwide. This is a very serious because it has an adverse affect on the United States as well. However, in the 12th verse of Mark 13 it indicates that now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and father the son.

Children shall rise up against their parents and shall cause them to be put to death. This is something that is going on each and every single day. We are really living in between the end of times and the last days.

Also, when it comes to music that young people are listening to right now, parents are against it because it totally disrespects women of all races, cultures, and creeds. The music itself is demonic. It has a lot to do with Satan and his destructive schemes.

When it comes to issues between young and older people, it is a shame that our young people are not showing any respect to those who are older than they are. There is a sense of emotional numbness that young people are showing and demonstrating to other people.

 Their peers on the other hand are not really interested in any of their emotional numbness and the behaviors that exist afterwards.

This is the reason why it states in the book of 1st Thessalonians 4:11th verse says and that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands as we commanded you. This means that we should continue to share the good news of Jesus Christ, as well as to be quiet and mine your own business.

 It also means that we should continue to work with your own hands without accepting any handouts.

Next, younger people and their attitude have changed tremendously since 1980. The reason for this change is because parents have changed their attitudes when it comes to rearing their own children. Parents are calling their children their friends rather than their children themselves.

 This is simply because the city, state, and federal government have intervened in the relationship between families. The government is telling parents how to raise their own children.

 Parents are not allowed to punish their children as they wish. This is the reason why children are growing up without any sense of direction, guidance, understanding, and affection from their own parents. This is a subject that should be addressed by everyone who has children as well as those who do not have any children of their own.

 Like they say, it takes a village to raise one child. This is true! In most cases, parents are not listening to their own children and addressing their needs.

 When it comes to young people and older ones, it would be easy if we all can get along while we are living inside of a community.

I wrote about this topic because our young people do not have any respect for elders. They use a great deal of profanity and they are very apathetic. This has changed a lot since the 1980s.

Television has changed a lot of our attitudes and there are too many reality shows that pertain to the lives of others.

There is a reality television show that pertains to everything in our personal lives. I would not want anything that I am doing in my personal life to be on television. A lot of young people are watching reality shows rather than take out the garbage at home.

 There are at least 2 billion people between the ages of 13-40 who would rather watch television all day long rather than do their homework from school or college.

The issue that I have with young people today is that; most of them do not have any respect for themselves or anyone else. What these young people do not know is that the world that we are living in is getting ready to come to an end.

Mark 13:37 says and what I say unto you, I say unto all watch. This means that we have to really watch and pay attention to what is going on all around us. We must get our lives right with God.

This is very serious because if the world comes to an end, at least a person would like to have their life right with God. The son of man is coming down from heaven and it is a very serious event.

As far as those who are older are concerned, we must continue to share the good news of God to everyone whether they are young or old. It is very important that we share about what God has done for us in our personal lives and make certain!!

Does the Bible talk about managing our emotions?
The Bible tells us that we are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and also shows us that God has emotions. We have emotions because God does!

When we have emotions, it is because we are designed that way. Emotions in and of themselves are a good and useful thing. However, there are godly ways and ungodly ways to manage our emotions.

Take the emotion of anger, for example. We are shown that God has anger (Psalm 7:11; 1 Kings 11:9–10). We are shown that Jesus got angry (John 2:13–16; Mark 3:4–5). Anger is not wrong. But many times our anger results from selfishness, which is wrong. Other times, we mis-handle our anger. Rather than using our anger to alert us to a negative situation and then seek God’s wisdom in how to respond, we too often lash out in anger without thought. We let our anger control us, rather than managing our anger. James 1:20 says, “The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” Ephesians 4:26 encourages, “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.” We need to learn to manage emotions such as anger.

Sometimes our emotions are “false” in that they are the result of us believing something false. For example, we might be feeling despair because we fear we have failed God, forgetting that God is merciful and willing to forgive us all our sin if we will go to Him (1 John 1:8–9). Or perhaps we feel sad because we perceive we’ve been rejected by a friend, when in reality the friend truly had a previous obligation. Such emotions are natural, but they should not control us. Often it is wise to verify that particularly strong emotions are based on something that is true.

As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit to guide us and instruct us and remind us and help us become more like Christ (Romans 6; Ephesians 5:15–18). When we are aware of our emotions and aware of God’s work in our lives, we change and God is glorified. Rather than let our emotions guide our perception of truth, we let God transform our minds (Romans 12:2). We submit our emotions to Him, asking Him to help us learn what we should from them and appropriately manage them. We also stay grounded in God’s Word so that we know truth and can more easily recognize deceptions.

First Peter 5:6–10 says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

This passage gives us many strategies for managing emotions: submit to God, express your concerns to God (Philippians 4:6–7), be sober-minded (Philippians 4:5; Ephesians 5:18; Romans 12:3), be alert regarding spiritual attack (Ephesians 6:10–18), recognize that you aren’t alone, understand God’s eternal plan and trust that He will work it all together for good in the end (Romans 5:1–5; 8:28; James 1:2–4).

A good resource for seeing God at work in people can be found in Psalms. Nearly every human emotion (positive and negative) can be found in Psalms. Yet, throughout the book, God is glorified. You can use the Psalms as a pattern for expressing your emotions to God and gaining His perspective.

Another gift God has presented us for our help and edification, even with our emotions, is one another. Jesus’ prayer for His followers is filled with His desire for Christians to love one another (John 17). We are also instructed to share our burdens, including our emotions, with one another (Romans 12; Galatians 6:1–10; 2 Corinthians 1:3–5; Hebrews 3:13) and be reminded of God’s goodness, long-suffering, and loving care for us.

Remember, our emotions do not define us, nor should they control us. Our value and worth is in God alone. God equips us to manage our emotions instead of being controlled by them. We need not fear emotion nor should we try to be emotionless, but we also shouldn’t be ruled by emotion. Instead, we are to be ruled by God. Enjoy emotion as part of His design of you, bring your emotions to Him, and trust Him to guide you (James 1:5; Proverbs 3:5–8).

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2).

Idealistic Thinking vs. Pragmatic Thinking

This is a special essay that has a great deal to do with our way of thinking. For instance, does society itself have an influence on our way of thinking? A comparison and contrast between idealistic thinking will be emphasized. First, what does the word idealistic mean? An idea is a plan or action. It is also something that exists inside of the mind; which forms into thoughts or concepts.

 However, idealism is a philosophical approach or system that when we look at ideas or ideologies, we have to examine our own personality as well as our own parents. When it pertains to politics, we have to explore our ideas and how they shape or influence our decision that pertains to family, culture, education, environment, health, and personal freedom.

Second, what does the word pragmatic mean? The word pragmatic means dealing with actual facts or occurrences. Of or related to the study of causes and effects. Could a person become dogmatic, obtuse, dictatorial, or meddlesome? The answer to this question is yes!!!!! Politicians who are in control for so many years tend to exercise their authority too much. I would like to say that there are members of Congress who tend to override their own authority!!!!!

 Why is this the case? The answer is power!!! There is too much power among the richest members of the world’s population. Pragmatism has a whole lot to do with the exercising of authority. This authority overrides anyone else’s decisions and in some cases; causes others to feel unwanted or unsure of themselves.

 This form of authority decreases the value of others by decreasing their self-worth.

Third, let’s look at this from a different perspective. Pragmatism is factual; however, there are differences in opinions when it pertains to other members of a specified population. When one feels like this, you are inside of a world all by yourself. Abstract thinking has a lot to do with the behaviors that we tend to possess as humans. It makes a big difference between actions vs. reaction.

This is also a difference between thinking outside of the box and an opinion that disrupts the moral conscious of others. Pragmatic to me is more of a macro perspective. A macro perspective is an expansion of a substance or an idea that develops into a large scale matter.

This also pertains to economics.

A macro perspective has a lot to do with people, policy, politics, and the expansion of opinions. Most people who exercise this approach tend to back themselves up with their actions. A very important question one might want to ask themselves is does my opinion really matter? Pragmatic thinkers are people who have a direct influence. These people are born leaders, but they also can become conceited or vain in their approach at times.

There are members of the Conservative and Republican Party who tend to exercise this approach when they are trying to make an impact on a specific group or members of a population. This also can affect anyone no matter who you are as a person.

We also have to explore other personal characteristics of pragmatic thinkers. There are times when certain people do not really understand others from their own personal perspective. It is like our society itself has become one that is apathetic in nature.

It is the person themselves that is responsible for making their own decisions for themselves and not others. Now, remind you that there are others who tend to portray themselves as one who possesses a great deal of influence when they do not.

Fourth, pragmatic thinkers I will admit have a preverbal chip on their shoulders. Pragmatic thinkers at times remind me of someone who tends to directly influence your behavior without being inside of your own presence. This is one who makes you really think with their use of propaganda. 

This reminds you of how influential Adolph Hitler was on the people in his country during World War 2. Let’s look at this from a different perspective, in the United States; this is a country that is a democracy. However, it really makes you feel as if we are living inside of a socialist society. Are we really a democracy or a country filled with socialist ideas?

Finally, what is the definition of the word ideology? Ideology means a body of ideas that influence a person, group, ideas, or political party. Pragmatics on the other hand has a lot to do with mixed emotions that pertain to mixed beliefs. Some or all mixed beliefs tend to have a negative influence on others.

 Idealistic thinkers are one who has many ideas, but when placing them into practice, who will believe you? The answer to this question is to work very hard in your efforts to change society by stating your opinions and making certain that it has a level of political correctness. Political correctness is expressing one’s own ideas by protecting yourselves from damaging the reputation of others.
