“My generation said: “IT IS TRUTH, THEREFORE IT WORKS".The younger generations says, “IF IT WORKS IT IS TRUTH"
What do you think of these statements?
I think the statements themselves are true but is the premise of either one right or wrong?
We, the older generation did accept the truths we were taught as absolute. If they didn’t work it was our fault, not the fault of the truth we had been taught all our lives.
We didn’t question the truth itself. There isn’t anything wrong with this thinking, or is there?
Why do young people question the same truths that were passed down to them?
Is it because they see that they didn’t really work for their parents? Or is it because we didn’t stick to the absolutes but added on or our own traditions, denominational ideas and prejudices?
