Let's Be Frank

Okay, let's do it. Let's be Frank. But first we have to ask ourselves...who is Frank? Just kidding. Super lame joke to start out your day or night or whatever. If we're being Frank we'll all agree that my first post was not that great. That's okay with me...I've never claimed to be eloquent. However, that never stopped me before.

I guess while I'm being Frank about how awful my first post was I should clarify it's main problem...I never really explained how critical young is, in fact, a paradox.

As I've grown older (but not ever really old enough) I've noticed that those of us who can refer to ourselves as youth are slacking on our duty to ourselves and to our society. People in general, but especially this younger generation that we belong to, no longer criticize anything.

Oh sure, we complain a lot. But when I say criticize I don't mean we sit there and whine or that we silently critic our neighbors awful fashion sense or the way our parents run our family. I mean that we take every piece of information we come across--whether we discover it or it's given to us or it's force fed to us--and we search it out for ourselves.

That's right. We WORK. We STUDY. And we do it, not for a grade, not for praise, but for the SAKE OF KNOWLEDGE. Knowledge is the only thing we really have and so if we're going to fill our heads with stuff it might as well be good.

So there you go...something for you to fill your head with...something to THINK about...

My paradox, this critical young, shouldn't be a paradox. Not by a long shot. So like I said, let's be Frank, is the stuff in your head really worth knowing?
