The Little Voice ..

It’s been a while,I know, god only knows how much i miss writing in leen eyes blog. Is not easy to keep up with so many things going around.

Well, few days ago, I had a chance to run away from the kids, getting together with an old friend, catching up a little.

My friend asked me during our chat what is the most thing we miss in the new generation?. I stopped talking for a while, thinking about his question, and with no hesitant I said:

“The little voice!”

My friend put a big smile on his face,and said:” and here we go!”. I started laughing about his comment, kind of like it,then I told him:”come on! I’m not so that critic!”. But honestly, who knows? maybe I do.

“Elaborate more!”, he asked me.

“Well, do you remember the little voice inside your head? the one tells you not to do this or that? makes you hesitate every time you decide to do something? Specially bad things? sometimes does affect your self-esteem when you try something new? makes you scared” I told him.

“Ok!, get it!. what is up with him?. what does that do with the new generation?”..he replied.

“I believe that the little voice is missing, I feel that they have killed their little voice, they are not anymore hesitant when it comes to harm other people, physically or emotionally” I told him..

I continued explaining that some of the new generation do not have that little voice, so they really do not care about the consequences about their actions.

That little voice is a result of the way we been raised, and raising the new generation without focusing on major aspects like ethics and respect, and only relying on TV series may end up by an ignorance generation.

My little voice started bugging and kept reminding me about Leen smile. And it got harder to fight this feeling inside, so I decided to leave early.

I left home wondering was I right about that? are they missing it or they do not actually have it? or I’m so critic and so pessimistic about them. I’m Just like dad talking about us?.

Do we still have our little voice? And if we do, is it still alive? the same old one? honest and works hard to protect you from making further mistakes?.

Finding out these answers never been easy, only your little voice can have them.
