Civilisation not a retardation

Up to now many haven’t realized what the word ‘civilization’ means. This unfortunate perception is due mainly to realization of the present generation often referred to as selfie or social media generation. In fact, civilization has taken and left a lot full of regret consequent to misinterpretation accorded it.

According to Advance Learners dictionary, civilization simply means  state of human society that is very developed and organized.  Therefore, a civilized person is one who tend to educate and improve others in a society. Having been well organized socially with a very developed culture and other ways of life. 

Retardation on the other hand is the action of delaying the progress or development of something.  In a nutshell, it is lack of normal development of intellectual capacities of individual.

The retard, living a life of nothing but frivolity and frolic; always  express to impress and end up depressed so much with accompanying stress.  Therefore, doubting about posts on social media and appearance in public so as to get likes and comment which is the greatest but bad influence to present generation.

In fact, the retard looks so grossed and tattered in trash assuming to follow a trend that down-grade indirectly while being deceived in uttering abusive and negative words just to be the going team; participating in a business in order to be noticed and become the topic of discussion while ending up without deriving any benefit! Moreso; ruining lives after impressing the ‘world of go’ forgetting about those big dreams and vision which no step has been taken to actualize them; thus, luring such a fellow in taking unnecessary thing against one’s capability but feeling it as a duty going with the world; thereby forgetting the fact that it is not a do or die.  Yet assumed to be civilized.

Why not be a civilized who endeavour to acquire adequate knowledge for the benefit of the society?.  One that look responsible occasioned with a good dress that uplift dignity, speaks good earns love and respect..  Sharing knowledge for a better tomorrow. Try all possible to serve the humanity as a humanitarian. Maintaining good morals together with controlled emotions, feeling and attitude.

The saddest aspect is that most retards are youths; otherwise known as future leaders which many hopes lies on them. unfortunately such class of future leaders are so vulnerable to social influences and technological growth that hinders their self dependence on individual decision making!

As retardation hinders academic and moral growth, let’s rise for a change with this as a potential source.
