Prove these wrong or is it true?
Our elder son on his freshman year in College consult us about groups inviting him to join them. Good thing he’s open to our opinion regarding activist and fraternity. Most of the time, principles from these organization are interpreted and executed the wrong way.
Activists. These were yelling for reform, waiting for imediate action from the people concern. They tend to forget that walls are blind and deaf, and rarely respond positively towards complain. They were saying that they were the victims of the rotten system. Why they were drenching themselves to more deplorable state, skipping classes, hunger strike or sacrifice a day work? Why would one waste his time and productivity for the hopes on uncertainty? Assuming that the result would be for long term. Ironically, the reality is, more of thinking what others could do for you rather than to do something; not to be conquered by such limitation. Too close to set aside studies and might probably wouldn’t able to finish. You can do more of the changes you want if you strive hard to achieve goals with whole will and righteous means.
Fraternity. Hazing is stupidity, loyalty couldn’t be demonstrated by blood clots or series of rod hits. Pain shouldn’t be the reason of holding back, staying is to gain and give something valuable. Not to inject revenge, worldly wicked schemes and wrong concept of brotherhood. Violence seeker grabbed you away from activities that are worthwhile and rewarding. Showing hatred to restrictions and rules; but an abuse will all end up to a more narrow space and soon an empty self.
Don’t embrace death, a chain reaction to slip your feet near the cliff edge, allowing yourself to be a prey, an air-headed fighter bragging without honor.
Choose your company that wouldn’t corrupt your character. Be involve with the cluster that could develop you into a better person. There are a lot of options, open your eyes and learn to screen….
