SHUN NEGATIVE SEXUALITY

Many a times, I wonder why we believe that war and death in our environs are the major factors that sabotage peace, tranquillity and happiness of the youth, especially the children, in the world we reside in. But from my personal experience, I have observed that the incessant exposure of the youth to all forms of promiscuity is a lingering and serious issue of our era. It is a well-known fact by all and sundry that the future can only be defined by the success and intelligence of the youth in a particular community. But if the mind of the youths is filled with licentious act in all forms, I wonder how the future will be. A considerably large chance is that it will be blurring like the problem the German youths had in the mid 80’s due to excessive drinking of alcohol, which resulted in their defeat to the Soviet Union.

The storage capacity of the brain is so massive that it enshrouds ideas and initiative to make the world better. It also gives room for any other thought which is based on man’s experience. Man have been created in such a way that when he gets to the period of youthful exuberance, many internal energy is generated; the zeal to succeed; the zeal to invent; the zeal to love and the zeal to be loved. This is the natural instinct of man. He nurtures this from birth through youthfulness to senility. But the climax of intelligence is when he is young. The tendency to be curious and to inquire sets in. But in the midst of this, technology comes in. The advent of technology heralds virtues and vices for the youth. Unfortunately, he tends to hold on to the vices thus causing distraction.

A part of the side effect of the above decision is the indulgence in sexual act, in reality or virtually. Youths are now threatened by the kind of fashion we censure nowadays. The mode of dressing is so displeasing to the heart but tempting to the body that almost 70% of the world’s youth have sunk into the world of fantasy thereby substituting the intuition to think, read and solve the world’s challenges with sexuality in its negativity. In my environment for instance, it is no more a news to hear that a 13 year-old girl got pregnant for a 15 year-old boy. This is a dark future for our generation and it must be alleviated to the minimal. The terrible thing about this sexuality problem is that once you connect a certain strong desire to it and you get somehow hooked on it, you will find it easy to return to it-even though you showed remorse after perpetrating the act. The avenue of knowledge has now become the arena for porn viz TV, radio, internet, music and to mention but a few. No song is sang in our era except that it is cocooned with half-nude ladies exposing their endowment, all in the name of marketing.

I dream of a future where the world will be free from all agents of promiscuity, where the minds of the youth will be focused to know that we, the youth are the saviour of the future. We can’t afford to lose focus; we can’t afford to die being a loser. We don’t want to be a liability to the world but an indispensable asset. Mother Earth will even be proud of us. Yes, we can!!!
