Are we worried? If so, why?
 
Changing life conditions, current events, the gaps between generations and attitudes cause both anxiety and anger. The cause of anger is the psychological state of those who do nothing, cannot do anything, and are caught in the flow of life.
 
There has always been a tension between the elders and their children and it continues. This is a never ending psychological state. The child is looking to be himself from the moment he starts to know himself. The boy is looking to get rid of the shadow of the father, and the daughter of the mother. The main problem that is constantly on the agenda because of this is the feeling of searching for the past. “Were we like this before?” is called. But yes, they were like that. It had different methods.
 
The relationship between girls and mothers is getting deeper. They are in a different world. So are fathers and sons. However, the spaces between them are now narrowing. People of the old generation have dwindled. There is not such a big gap between current mothers and fathers and their children. They are in the same world of objects. Young people are young and energetic, more aggressive and assertive. Parents, on the other hand, are more stable. Naturally, they can't be like them.
 
One of the problems is the gradual loss and decline of ideal thought. Anxiety is watching on another plane. The more modern, free-living feeling prevails. The craving is the desire to move to an environment where they can be more comfortable, live, or live more luxuriously. Idealism makes them more relaxed and free.
 
In fact, mothers and fathers are not that far away and different from them in terms of their lives. It's because they're a little more conservative themselves. Conservatism is also measureless.
 
A Muslim life cannot be said to be lived in its entirety. The requirements of the consciousness of being a Muslim are not properly fulfilled. They, too, are in a far different place compared to their predecessors. Moderns also have different problems. Individuation and alienation anxiety.
 
Young people's eyes are opened to a different field. They see the world differently. The feeling of traveling with them stems from insecurity. First of all, the younger generation has no self-confidence. They are not sufficiently equipped. When they have nothing to give their children, they just complain and get angry.
 
Their anger turns to violence. Violence should not be seen as mere beating, it can also be violence with behavior and words.
 
They do not have any thoughts of understanding young people and being a companion with them. Children from the spirit of this land have their own genes. It would be different if they themselves were stronger and knew how to be with them.
 
It is not difficult at all to return to the original of a child who has been read azan, even if it is only once in the morning. What we have insisted on for a long time is that adults or those who think they know themselves should have the morals and virtues to be with them.
 
Those who have lost the language of love and compassion have no right to say anything.
 
What problems does anger and reaction solve? It only serves to drive the youth away. Isn't it necessary to be with them, to understand, to walk together? Some situations that exist in human nature are examples for humanity. It is in question that two angels, Harut and Marut, join a deteriorated society, accompany them, be with them, and set an example for them while experiencing adversity. It doesn't necessarily have to be. It is necessary to strive to be near them without breaking away from them.
 
There is also something to be learned from young people whose eyes are open to the world.
 
When you are with them, it is psychologically prevented from turning to more negativities.
 
Those who are in front of the society need to observe, observe, listen and understand the society in general. Otherwise, water is beaten in a mortar for no reason and it is stopped.
