The old new Problem of Teenage Mothers

modern_teenage_mothers

Teenage Mothers are not a new phenomenon. Since the Industrial Revolution the family has become smaller and smaller.

Patchwork Families and Single Parents are now almost the norm. Today unruly teenager produces more babies than ever. Especially fuelled by free sex (basically a good thing), recreational drugs (mostly weed) and binge drinking (basically a very bad thing – especially for youngsters).

This just fuels the growth of a new underclass: kids who grow up without a father (usually), underprivileged because mom never got a good education or never had the time to get a career.

Accelerated Growth

Bob and Judy tried to speedup the development of their prodigy child Jimmy, but they were slow to understand that genetics are hard to accelerate in that manner.

Soldiers are Parents too – but why?

war_soldiers_are_parents_too

One aspect that I find highly fascinating and morbid as well is that so many soldiers often have families and kids.

Why would you start a family in face of death and cause a lot of pain for your loved ones? It seems almost cynical and sadistic to form a family, leave them to fight and come back badly injured or dead.

With the high chance of getting killed is the desire to clone yourself especially high?

Or is it just the soldiers way to live life to the fullest and give and experience every aspect of being human?

Or is it part of a old fashioned mindset and lifestyle: having a family and fighting for it on all fronts possible?

Or is it an odd way to create a support system for yourself while in battle, give yourself a reason to fight or comeback?

Any ideas? Anyone?

The Pain of great Performers

psyche_character_deformation

The Beauty and the Beast.

Many so called "great people" often suffer from extreme psychological damage and deformations.

Usually the needs to be a "huge drive" in your psyche that propels you to "more" than the usual person.

Many great artists, industrialists, scientists and politicians were not driven by mere talents, but the crazy need to please their parents (like Mozart or Michael Jackson) or patch some other painful hole in their personality (like being loved, accepted and adored by everybody).

So it’s no surprise that Artistic tendencies linked to ’schizophrenia gene’ and many great people often suffered from mental illnesses like depressions or bi-polar-disorder (like Stephen Fry or Robbie Williams).

But it’s that very inner turmoil that drives these people forward to excel.

Psychological pain not always translates into creativity and so called "greatness" – many people suffer heavily form such conditions without reaping any "benefits" from them.

Unwilling Grandparents

modern_unwilling_grandparents

There is a new generation of grandparents in town, who are unwilling to lend a hand to raise the next generation.

Instead they rather cultivate their own love-life or hobbies instead of taking care of the grandkids.

Anyone surprised? Nope. That’s what you get when you mix our modern fun culture, the youth cult, ever increasing longevity and Viagra together.

Old people become as selfish as the young ones, because they don’t depend on them and very strictly follow their own very active lifestyle.

Stupid religious Reasons for Death

spiritual_logic of god

God killed your baby girl so he can give her back to you on judgement day in mint condition. 

There actually is no way to rationalize ANY gods reason for killing the innocent and the young. That is a “flaw” in all religions – and they can’t explain it or makes any sense out of a “senseless” death.

Nature is not rational, it follows no great plan, no philosophy and no desire – apart from random selection, brutal honesty and death in all shapes, sizes and forms.

Nature just is and death just happens – and we should accept it without building weird ideas around OUR inability to cope with unavoidable end that is coming to all of us.
