METANOIA
A shift in opinion,
do we share views of the parents?
Youngsters soak up opinions until
Metanoia. Perhaps it is time to
listen to what they have gained
in their varied education
creating a world of
understanding
and love.
Growing up in the seventies, there were some antiquated perspectives on life. One thing that stands out for me is how women had to fight for our independence. As a student, there were lessons we couldn’t do (physics, metalwork).
Boys never learnt to sew or cook.
We wore trousers to school, as a protest, because we felt it was unfair to wear skirts when it was freezing cold.
I would like to think I helped my mum and dad with some of their outdated beliefs. Mine have taught me to understand some of my misunderstandings. It is the only way to evolve as humans.
Yes, we need to keep pushing forward – evolving.

One needs to avoid being judgmental to accept change. Whatever is happening is relevant to the present scenario. No point in comparing with ‘our times.:
