Little people: defenseless but wayward

Little people: defenseless but wayward
Caring for offspring is an important condition for the continued existence of biological species. Representatives of the animal world, having gone through a difficult but short path of adaptation to the environment, can take care of themselves – to get food, protect themselves or hide from danger, create a mate and bring new ones into the world. The process of becoming a child is much harder: a third of his life is devoted to learning from the experiences of previous generations, another third is spent trying to build his own life, and only at the end of his life can a person conclude whether he has succeeded, whether everything has worked out.
The helplessness of children in meeting material needs runs counter to the rapid development of personality: without really learning how to walk, the little man already knows how to demand attention to himself, use different methods of influencing adults to get what he wants. He has his own opinion and, without waiting for the loss of baby teeth, "works" on forming his own style of clothing.
Studying is a test of strength: every year we have to study more and more, since a limited period of time is allocated to assimilate the "tops" of the wisdom of thousands of years. After graduation, teenagers are able to think in serious socio-political, scientific and cultural categories, they can boast of reading books that their parents had not even heard of at the time, they look at the world with an uncluttered gaze and are ready to challenge any difficulties.
Young boys and girls have more relevant knowledge than their parents, but they have absolutely no idea how to make a living. They are connected to network communications and know how to use multimedia technologies, but they do not have anything truly of their own and are forced to obey the rules of family life developed and implemented by their parents.
Full-fledged self-defense involves not only ensuring individual safety, but also a real ability to adapt socially. Complete autonomy from parental care rarely comes at a young age: the financial side of life support cannot be replaced by anything. Is it worth rushing to become an adult? Yes, if this is the only way to distance yourself from a dysfunctional family, and no, if youth is full of discoveries and prospects, and the older members of the family "pride" do not mind financially supporting the younger generation.
Babies' temporary helplessness is deceptive: soon they will get back on their feet and make the world spin around them. The weakness of the elderly is excusable: they have fulfilled their civic, social and human duties, having raised a new generation of decent people, and deserve love and care. The people, whose tradition of family and social structure has firmly included caring for the "little and old", have hope for the future. Cases CS2
