Are we raising a generation that has no morals and no ability to love?

Question

Five out of eleven people thought I am a pervert because I babysit my friends' children so she can work and keep a roof over her head. And in doing that, taking my young friends to the park, I am a pervert. Where has this society gone wrong? Why is helping and showing LOVE, not sex, to the young a wrong thing. "Suffer not the children unto me." For shame!!

Peace and Love

Answer 1

I am a Christian man and I just read your question and the way you worded it does sound mighty suspicious. What do you mean when you ask "Can I offer you love?" To be perfectly honest with you that does sound mighty creepy and fact of the matter is, we do live in crazy times. In the future you should say what you mean and mean what you say and not offer riddles. In your question you make no mention of babysitting your friends children so she can go to work. Instead you intentionally make yourself sound like a pervert and then want to act so innocent and blame the world for having no morals or ability to love. You want to blame society for having a problem when in all actuality, you are the one with the problem. I don't know what kind of game you are playing but I am not amused. I pray that you are not some sort of pervert and indeed are a good samaritan. Peace and God bless.

Answer 2

Babysitting itself is common and not considered perverted. Perhaps you should examine more specific actions and see what's actually being misconstrued by 5 out of 11 people. It may be simple misunderstanding, or you may find you're doing something wrong. Only you and the kids really know.

As far as raising a generation with no morals or ability to love, that seems to be a bit of a tangent to the actual telling of your story, unless you're being overly physical in your expressions of love with other people's children. There are many ways to express affection that don't border anywhere near the sexual, like encouraging eachothers interests, or the simple pleasure of conversation. Perhaps you'd be wise to engage more into those areas, because even the kids don't always know the difference. T

To actually answer the question, no. That can't be done, people will always find their own moral compass, and love is a necessity. Some find it harder than others, but everyone finds it somehow.

Answer 3

Every 3rd woman in the world has been subject of sexual abuse at some time in her life, most of them as children or in their early teens. I read that on the UNIFEM website. Must be true... I think people have developed a lot of fears due to these facts and statistics being released in front of everyone's eye.
They judge you wrongly because they know that nothing is as it was before..... or it was just the same, but there was less spoken about it, into open air!

Try to be an old unfriendly, groomy man, maybe they will believe you that you are a good man, then!!!
(Sorry for the bad joke, but people always have weird associations, you know... that's how people are. Maybe even the other 6 who didn't say a word to you... they might have been thinking the same as the first 5!)

If you know for sure that you are helping someone, doing a good thing, and not a p..t as they say,,, turn your head and don't listen to them. Simple.

BY THE WAY: you didn't tell them you were taking your friend's kids to the park in order to help her, etc etc etc, you let them think what they want!
People have fears and I can absolutely understand that. The wolrd is not a flower garden, digilook!

Answer 4

I'm not certain that the current generation is being raised without them as I'm sure they have different ideas and beliefs in them. They are convoluted and much different than those we believe in. What makes it worse is that they are not really being taught the difference in the two. Parents don't take the time to teach children much these days. Not all, some; for the most part the children rule the house and do as they think is correct. Problem being is they don't know what is right or wrong from lack of discipline, responsibility and respect for themselves or anyone else for that matter........

Answer 5

I'm afraid you're right. Mothers are without natural affection, people are lovers of their own selves and yes the average person doesn't believe that you would do something nice without something in it for you.

In my generation , movies and music were about love. Children were conditioned to love.Most every home had both a Mother and a Father. The Mom stayed home and was there when the kids came home. After home work the kids had chores. If they were done you could go out.

Every Mom in the neighborhood was also your Mom.
Most of the girls were virgins. When Mom yelled out of the window feet scuried to go home.

It was a beautiful time. and many women looked after other peoples kids and no one ever called them a pervert.

Answer 6

In direct response to:
Are we raising a generation that has no morals and no ability to love?

No. We are not.

And that's the problem, it's because we're not Raising our children anymore. Some parents suck at parenting and let mass media instill such terrible values that it doesn't even deserve to be called parenting.

You on the other hand, are doing a fine job of Raising the next generation.

Answer 7

We've become a suspicious people, though not without reason. It seems hardly a season can pass without someone being identified on the evening news as a murderer or rapist whose neighbors all say, "He was the nicest fellow. I never would have suspected." It pays to be suspicious, and I think that's sad.

Unfortunately, men who enjoy being with children are especially suspect. That's not fair, but most parents choose to follow "better safe than sorry."

Are we raising a generation without morals? I'd have to say that too many children today aren't being taught about ethical behavior, and the adults in their lives certainly aren't setting good examples for them to emulate.

Answer 8

I do agree with you. The moral part of the society is just dying out. People are getting so called practical, logical and intelligent.
Reality is the people are loosing the moral value of being a human and they are getting day by day close to the Robot.

Answer 9

I'm assuming you are a man. With that assumption I will say I would not allow you to watch my children and I don't think she should either. I have been through a class and read several books on Child Sexual Abuse and you fall under the category of a possible child molester just for offering to watch them. Men are not motherly and they should not desire to be with children that are not their own for long periods of time, especially alone! I'm not saying you are a child molester, only you and your possible victims know that, but you would not be watching my child. Been there, done that and my daughter has the emotional scars to prove it.

Answer 10

That question was put in to words by Aristotle about 1500 years ago. He felt his current generation held no moral fiber, and the future of the human race was in question.. They had no respect and were unruly. So you see, every generation things the next is hopeless!

It isn't!
