When you have systems and values
that create charlatan Trump as most powerful man on planet and dimwit Musk as
richest man on the planet, and these are replicated across the world with
thumping ferocity as ‘success’ then you know how much the rot has set in. The
system has become so toxic that these people are just momentary embodiments of
bubbling muck that acquire human form. They rise suck it up and vanish for next
to rise. This amazing level of irresponsibility has reached a point of no
return. To be young has therefore become a profound responsibility (to paraphrase
Emily Dickinson). We are witnessing a generational experience that was never experienced
in the 200000 years of Homo sapien history. We have reached a critical point
where the young have become the very voice of life. They now embody all that
life cares for and fragile world that sustains it. They had to. They have no
choice.
Nature is asking intensely
probing questions for some time now. The viability of humans on the planet is
being urgently sought. The irresponsible actions of humans are having debilitating
consequences on other species. Life sustaining systems are collapsing. The young
have ignited these questions, and now pursue it by searing the streets. What is
seen as inconvenience is existential for them. They seek immediacy because they
are aware that they will have to live the answers very soon. These answers by
nature is going to be their everyday struggle to survive. The young will therefore
drill each and every word of the question to wherever they can hit. This really
cannot go on. They are asking to pause. They are asking you to come out of
greed shell and dreadful systems of securities that has lulled senses into false
retreats. They are asking you to open your eyes, to see and exhibit intellect
and reasoning skills that has brought humans to such spectacular awareness. Above
all, they are asking for simplest and most basic of human response: to care.
