Yesterday, I was talking to one of my friends, then another, and today with a third. All of them had the same problem – they said, “My kids now don’t have etiquette, and they have forgotten their culture.” Then I told them, “Don’t mix both things. If your kid doesn’t have etiquette, it’s not a big deal one day he will learn. But if he doesn’t have respect for your culture and sense of belonging, then you have just begotten a dog in human form.”
And your main problem is not that your child doesn’t have manners, but that they suffer from a deep-rooted cultural dormancy a condition brought into this world by the Baby Boomers, fostered by Gen X, and nurtured by Gen Y.
Culture – Tradition
Culture =—: What people believe and value.
Respect our culture – including our food, clothing, and language (in any tone).
Respect our parents, sisters, and countrymen – whether ugly or beautiful,
Respect our parents, sisters, and countrymen – whether rich or poor,
Respect our parents, sisters, and countrymen – whether educated or uneducated,
Respect our parents, sisters, and countrymen – whether living in a village or city,
Respect our parents, sisters, and countrymen – whether sick or healthy.
Overall, it means you must know what your duty is – before everybody, without any bias or prejudice.
Work for everybody. Speak the truth and keep no malice toward anyone in your heart. Live a life of full morality and ethics.
Etiquette/Manners
Etiquette/Manners = How they show it politely.
- Courtesy, respect, and politeness toward our parents, sisters, and countrymen, etc.
- Know how to talk
- Know how to sit
- Know how to eat
- Know how to read, etc
- And all this nonsense was created by certain “moms” of so-called elite-class families, who were brought up in a feudal mindset, with fathers who might have been lords or servants of lords. It is absolutely against the natural freedom of human thought and behaviour.
- Again, don’t confuse abusiveness in language with a rustic way of speaking. Rustic behaviour shows genuineness, but using abusiveness shows poor upbringing.
NOW COME TO THE MAIN PROBLEM
Nowadays, most kids, especially those from Gen Z and Gen Alpha, are slipping out of their families’ control. And the main reason is none other than their own parents. Many mothers and fathers are digging their own graves without even realising it. Generations X and Y didn’t enjoy much comfort or luxury in their youth. They faced hardship, lacked money, and often had to sacrifice their desires. So, when they grew up, they decided their children shouldn’t suffer the same way. They thought, ‘When I was young, I couldn’t afford pizza so when my child wants it, I’ll give it right away.’
But that attitude became the root of today’s problem. Because Generation X faced struggles, they became stronger and more grounded. Yet, in trying to protect their children from every hardship, they ended up creating their own monsters their own Frankensteins and Bhasmasuras.Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids are not solely to blame for their immaturity or lack of resilience. Their parents made them this way by denying them the lessons that only struggle can teach
You cannot follow Western culture blindly. If you look at their society deeply, you’ll find broken families everywhere single mothers, divorced parents, children raised in childcare centers, mothers on their fifth marriage, fathers marrying women half their age, and cases of child molestation. They have already destroyed their own society, and now some so-called intellectuals from your country along with those from the West are trying to impose their so-called culture of ‘freedom’ on you. But be careful that kind of freedom will eventually take away everything you have
FINAL VERDICT
A lack of etiquette can be corrected,
but a lack of cultural respect cannot.
When someone forgets their roots,
they walk this earth as humans, yet live without humanity.
I have never seen an uneducated or illiterate person send their parents to an old-age home. But I have seen thousands of parents whose children hold top-class positions in top multinational companies.
Years ago, some European countries even proposed a law to punish mothers who over-pampered their children or fed them unhealthy food. The idea sparked outrage, and thousands of so-called ‘scientific mothers’ protested in the streets. Under public pressure, governments were eventually forced to withdraw the plan
