We have a word prompt this week
Zeitgeist
➰➰➰
It’s hard to capture zeitgeist of our current era
On one hand, we have loosening of the norms
Things that were acceptable are being trashed
And more freedom is being given all around
While on the other hand some conservatives are trying
To drag the society back into the dark ages
By curbing the rights of women and minorities
I do wonder what the future generations would say
About our confused decisions, our indeterminate reactions
Have we failed at everything that we had set out to do?

If dictators rule a major part of the world, power structures change. Followers take pride in being followers, but do not know where they are being led. The creative and intellectual people become powerless onlookers, as their voice is stifled by collective thoughtlessness. What does one expect?

Excellent take, Sadje. Powerful and thought-provoking. The future generation always blames the past generation. Every generation is confused.

Thanks a lot Indira. That is often the case. But our current generation in charge is sure making a royal mess.

A wonderful inquiry, Sadje. The recent developments in this country add to a very long list of continued oppressive action, which both angers and saddens me. I will, however, continue to take my actions each day, however small they may be, to mitigate and eliminate these horrible activities.
