From an early age the difference between right and wrong is drummed into us by our guardians and similar authorities. It is taken for granted that such rules are correct and our elders know best, and youngsters who question these rules are seen as difficult, immature or senseless. Those youngsters then appear to reform and mature into conforming adults and become carbon copies of their predecessors. Their previously youthful thought is buried under post-adolescence responsibility and before long they no longer question anything but seem to flow with the rest of society. In turn they then try to sculpture and fashion their own children to accept their surroundings. Each time, each generation conforms, a little more is lost, as ideals of the past become diluted and confused by modern advances in lifestyles and understanding…social decline is inevitable.
