Why is there
increasing number of drug addicts and suicides among the youth -rich or not so
poor and academically qualified people?
Any topic I normally throw into the cauldron of life in context as it is
happening now along with all that has happened and churn it with a churn staff
or kirn swee of contextually relevant observations.
The problem of
suicides, drugs addictions etc are individual hyper reactions and of course
some social contributory factors or to be more precise a vicious cycle of
social problem wherein everyone in society is equally responsible.
Let us not bury
them under certain convenient and cautious escapist lofty abstract meta
terminologies like moral obligations, social responsibility, political issue and so on.
In fact they
are individual and social problem involving individual and social
responsibilities.
So start
seriously attending to this problem or we may end up having a society of
mentally depressed, frustrated youth seeking drug addiction or other escape
routes.
Now let us see
what these social problems which create a system and how obvious or hidden is
our role in that chaos.
Social problem is
a social system enabling not only easy availability and accessibility of all drugs
to all;
Social problem
is a social system that does not emphasize values of life -which have nothing
to do with religion, any religious practices or political ideology;
Social problem
is a social system which over emphasizes the survival aspect of life to the
total indifference of the living aspect of life;
Social problem
is a social system where many irrelevant things are promoted as if they
contribute something great to life;
Social problem
is a social system where the importance of sense of balance is not taught by
anyone; [1]
Social problem
is a social system where the following are also not emphasized i.e. the
importance of not bartering with sanity and common sense for anything,
especially, not to resort to or to react with too much of aggression, violence,
frustration and depression against any provocation or instigation or succumb
to any mass mania or propaganda or brain washing techniques-in all these cases
the individual life is exploited by the mass mania or propaganda programmers;
Social problem
is a social system where there is excessive sensationalism, politicization and
activism on social issues doted out by many outfits with media playing a highly
negative and lopsided role in selectively projecting everything only to provoke
and create a sense of victim hood; [2]
Social problem
is a social system is one wherein at home, at school and in society at large children
are not allowed to freely communicate what they feel. Only then all others can
know what children need? What their interests are? and What they want to do?
Social problem
is a social system which does not realize that only when there is a open
interaction with children we can know about them and suggest, guide, interact
or if allowed also teach them;
Social problem is a social system wherein the elders of the society are not willing to accept the fact that the tastes and interests of adolescents can change at anytime;
Social problem is a social system wherein the elders of the society are not willing to accept the fact that the tastes and interests of adolescents can change at anytime;
Social problem
is a social system where family elders, in worse situations appealing publicity
and media propaganda end up deciding socially approved, religious sanctioned,
culturally liked, commercially successful models of ready-made life styles and
force youth to follow them almost in all spheres of life;
Social problem
is a social system that this may produce many ‘monks who may sell their
Ferraris’ or many youths who may commit suicide;
Social problem
is a social system where the family and the society at large have failed to enhance serious and sincere communication on
topics concerning life which are by the way many in number, beyond just money,
marriage, politics, religion, profession, academic qualification, commercial
success etc;
Social problem
is a social system where this void created by lack of communication concerning
matters more relevant to everyday life or life as it is encounter everywhere.
This lack of communication is a vulnerability that is exploited by political and ideological activists and social engineers and religious dispensations for enhancing their own agenda.
Among these, political activism is a more visible manifestation which can cage an individual psychologically and emotionally while making him gloat over in a false sense of pampered comfort and this process actually unwinds the wisdom of life, education and everything that stands to enhance life to a better standard.
This was put across very well by Swapan Dasgupta, my favorite writer on 24th Jan in Times of India in his article titled ‘Our universities are out of touch with Young India’, “There is an important distinction between intellectual ferment and frenetic activism that goes by the name of student politics. The quest for ideas leads to the sharpening of the mind; activism on the other hand reduces the mind to unflinching certitudes and vacuous slogans. More often than not, the latter defeats the purpose of education”.

Social problem
is a social system involving the above which put in other words is the hypo intelligent , like our
media houses, exploiting the hyper hormonal, hyper emotional, hyper sensitive
vulnerable youth for some hidden agenda.
Social problem
is a social system that does not allow us to realize that each person whom we
see in body [made of biochemical organism] with a name [identification label]
is just an outer view of a totally independent and individual soul/spirit or
personality with various inherited, inevitable, indoctrinated, inherent
aspirations and acquired attitudes with capacity to react and manifest various
emotions with varying perspectives and levels of perceptions ;
Social problem
is a social system that does not acknowledge and impart the fact that biologically,
socially and civilization wise life is always under constant evolutionary
churning process, where trends and taboos change faster than the shape of clouds; [3]
[4]
Social problem
is a social system which does not accept that each individual soul has to live
and experience life in its own way;
Social problem
is a social system which fails to acknowledge concrete evidences and learn
lessons from them like a very naturally highly resourceful country full of just monks who end up feebly immolating
when their status quo is affected as they have not known other possible avenues
of life as it happened in Tibet;
Social problem
is a social system which fails to notice vulnerability of youth which makes
them become tools and turns them into mass maniacal indoctrinated brutes as in
many anti-social, protests and violence promoting outfits with ideologically selective amnesia with lack of collective compassion with sense and sensitivity to others' views and ways of life;
Social problem
is a social system not taking note of easy preys to extremism and extreme steps like
resorting to suicide for such silly reasons as a teacher chiding a child for not doing home work ;
Social problem
is a social system unwilling to accept the blame and responsibility is on
everyone to educate about the pros and cons of everything;
Social problem
is a social system with lack of personal, concerned and loving communication
channels everywhere which forces many youths to be depressed, to be frustrated
and to resort to short term escape routes like excessive drugs and drunkenness;
Social problem
is a social system of living or life style which does not involve or include
satisfactory relationship or connectivity with anyone or anything which can to
a certain extent prevent most of these things like drug addictions and suicide particularly among youth;
Social problem
is a social system where we do not have an education which takes into
consideration various factors, facets, facts of intrinsic importance to human
life [5];
Social problem is a social system wherein both at family level and at social level healthy hobbies are not encouraged or developed to give scope for venting multiple emotional and psychological states of youth.
I had
discussion some months back with some top scientists in medical fraternity who
said almost 25% of youth by 2025 will suffer from some form of mental illness and
that may not be attended to by anyone, especially from medical fraternity
because it does not generate revenue unless it involves surgery and youth too
confuse information and knowledge with actual experience and elders have
inflated egos all leading to deflated wisdom and value of properly relating with anyone or anything i.e with acceptance of intrinsic attributes and contextual relevance which all put together lead to better relationship with anything or anyone.
So, meaningful
relationship with someone or something is very important because human physic
can live in solitude happily but human mind cannot survive in vacuous inanity
[6].
Since each one
of us are part of the society, when we blame the society we have to take part
of the blame ourselves.
Suicides and
drug addictions are spreading like a contagious disease and so everyone must be
concerned to prevent it and not
contribute to it with greater media publicity for any mileage because being a
contagious disease it can also spread to any group rendered irrelevant be it
paid media persons or otherwise insignificant and ignored political vultures.
More
importantly failing to emphasize the positive powers of civilized human brain
with all its sophistication which involves mind control techniques [the
necessity for this more felt and more relevant] that’s why recently when we had
organized at Hyderabad a meeting of delegates from all over the country- Assam
to Kanyakumari - we made Swami Bodhamayanandha of Ramakrishna Mutt to give a speech.
He is a
specialist and has also written a book on mind control and more importantly
conducts courses from 8 year old children to 50 year old adults in any post,
position or profession with well made study materials to Improve Human
Excellence –the course is called by that name.
I asked him why
not at Chennai, he said they are planning but are looking for more number of
qualified professionals.
