SA YOUTH’ROAD TO KNOW WHERE
It’s all about living fast and dying young. It’s all about joy and rocking from dust to dawn. It’s about looking at each other with the sense of inferiority and skepticism and travelling to the most famous place “nowhere”. South Africa is one of the most successful countries in the world with one of the most acceptable constitutions worldwide, yet is one of those countries with the most undisciplined youth. What’s the rush when you are only going to crush? You are probably wondering why I am asking this question. I form part of the youth myself, but I just can’t help to question. I can’t explain this feeling, I think about it everyday. It’s like being in a pool of sand, the more you wiggle, and the deeper you sink.
The government is trying its best to provide the scarce resources which can actually shape up our lives, yet we just throw it right back at their faces. Tomorrow when the morning comes we find someone to blame for our problems. The world is not a stage, drama or a novel. The bill of rights states it clearly that every right in South Africa has a responsibility. Whether or not it is clear to you, every second makes you grow older.
The government has provided plenty and yes we are doing zero. Our plates are full, yet we can’t find anything useful to do with the food. We must face the thunderstorm in order to see the rainbow. We must work hard and stop blaming someone for our badly cooked recipes. We have the world in our hands, we just have to choose where we want to place it. South Africa is full of opportunities and yes we are the children of South Africa. This is a multi racial country which is very united and full of opportunities at the same time. Let’s strike the iron while it is still hot.
We have the chance to be whoever we want to be, to be wherever we want to be. All we have to do is to have the determination of a mirror which never loses its ability to reflect. It seems as if we look up to our parents for everything. They have been here yesterday and today, I promise you, they are not going to be here tomorrow, this I know for sure.
Let’s grow up as quick as possible, believe me south Africa will grow with us. We have paralyzed our paradise, South Africa. We are the rainbow nation with bright colors that always reflect good things. Why can’t we live with that code? Is it so hard to make a future for yourself, a bright future to be precise? We can all do it; even the strongest chain has got a weak spot and no matter who you are and where you are you can find the weak spot.
I do not think we deserve this name (youth) cause we always point at the other direction. It seems as if few of our hearts still survive, just a few. Have the thirst for success and strive to be happy. The thirst has to be unquenchable. Let’s respect ourselves, our country, our parents, but most of all, lets respect each other and live our lives to the fullest not the foulest. Thank you
