What is going on is causing people to be anxious and pessimistic. There is rapid change. The huge gap between our children and grandchildren inevitably creates anxiety. There is a problem of understanding each other. This creates mutual reactions and distances. It's conflicting.
 
People over a certain age have concerns about informatics and technology. Difficulty grasping and understanding the current situation. This is normal. An object in the child's hand is like a toy. It goes in under and out. This is the technical side of the job. There is another aspect, objects come to life with their culture and language. The weight of English shows its effect in almost all areas of life. Because it has its own language and concepts. As long as there is no technological and informatics power, they are defeated and lost in front of them.
 
If a nation cannot be fed and formed from its own values ​​of belief, it is not difficult for it to be swept away by these developments. The flow is rapidly evolving in that direction.
 
Equipped with the preparation of a person or youth for the future requires multi-faceted efforts. Consciousness of thought, consciousness of culture and history, consciousness of belief and faith. The biggest danger facing people is to be dragged into worshiping information, technology and knowledge based on them. The sense of admiration leads him in that direction step by step.
 
There are situations to complain about, but this is limited to complaining or reacting. Man power and energy lead to many things. It is human beings who develop them. It has reached these days with its special efforts. The feeling of defeat, pessimism and surrender is captive.
 
Since this young man does not fit in his energy container, he is looking for an exit through other doors. Of course, there are reasons not only for this aspect, but also for modernism and extreme liberalism.
 
Unless the commitment to their faith and civilization is at the level of love, escapes are inevitable. A sense of the future and a sense of life depending on it becomes dominant.
 
As long as a nation has youth, there is no need to be pessimistic. A being that sprouts from within and turns into a current is reason enough to be a new beginning. It is the responsibility of the pioneers to believe and trust the youth, to encourage it, to guide it, to pave the way, to shed light.
 
Modern informatics and technology is a cultural leap. A conscious stance in the face of it, perhaps, can ensure that the perception does not lose itself.
 
Similar pessimism has been experienced after the declines of nations in the past, and they will continue to do so in the future. To be in life, to exist, to have the depth of knowledge and consciousness is life itself and is valuable.
 
Extreme thoughts distract people from reality. To ignore the existence of something that is is to be like an ostrich. There is a rotating world and its flow is quite fast. In the face of these, it is more valuable to exist in the realities of life without being caught by the wind and the effects. We don't need to go far, we're talking about the things that come into our homes that end up on our doors. We are besieged from within. What is the benefit of giving orders to people? Together with young people, it is necessary to realize the happenings in life and to live oneself.
 
There is no reason for a Muslim to be pessimistic. He is already in the position of superior human being with his position and existence. Enough reason to believe. But faith itself is not enough. Unless you turn it into consciousness, it does not provide any benefit.
 
In the face of the changing world people, no resistance can be provided unless a conscious confrontation with alienation and this culture is made. It is possible to exist with knowledge, belief and deep understanding. Because there is a gust that flows and comes in waves. The only way to resist this is by gaining more knowledge and consciousness, developing one's own strength, and presenting the thesis against it. We can never be pessimistic, but we can be cautious by working and being informed.
