\u201cTHE AGE OF INNOCENCE & THENCE-FORTH\u201d. – By Noor Rahim<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"retired<\/p>\n

\"NOORAs is my routine, in retired life; I sit relaxed on the porch and watch the clouds roll by. For want of something better to do, my mind as usual, wanders into the \u201creminiscing mode\u201d. Reversing right back into the past; and thence-forth back again into the \u201ccomparison mode\u201d, to that of the present day experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel lucky and very fortunate indeed that I was born 8 and a half decades ago; when the \u201cAge of Innocence\u201d was a fact and ruled the roost. In comparison I find and lament, that this is hardly so in the present days. I now wonder in amazement if the \u201cAge of Innocence\u201d is almost fictional or just one of those periods that has phased away with time. The only exception I believe is in the \u201ceyes of the Law\u201d where it is stated that a Person is innocent until proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brought up in an era; where society valued and inculcated simplicity, spirituality, respectability and high morality; as the code of conduct in everyday life. The elders always focusing on goodness based on innocence; and innocence based on truthfulness. These were indeed the valued and cherished concepts, in the family upbringing of human beings; in every community\/society.<\/span><\/p>\n

How often has one heard the remark \u2013 \u201cInnocent as a new born Babe\u201d. A remark\/statement made in pun or with a truthful meaning. For a fact all children are indeed born as innocent; as certain as there is always a day and night.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as the days roll-by and the \u201cdays of understanding\u201d kicks-in; the child soon uses his\/her own faculty of thinking. Like a young sapling that can be shaped without breaking the tree; the time would be rife for the Parents and elders to mould the child in the correct ways in the \u201cwalk of life\u201d. But in the eyes of the law, children\u2019s rights and other enforcement groups, the old saying of \u201cSpare the rod and spoil the child\u201d would be construed as cruelty and abuse of children. In hind sight we did endure the full wrath of this old saying; and one can proudly say that this made us better and well disciplined persons in the society; which concept we still do retain \u2013 proudly I may say.<\/span><\/p>\n

One may classify the \u201cdays of yore\u201d as the \u201claid back years\u201d. Life trundled along in a very easy pace. As one would say \u201cno sweat\u201d everything is going fine. Stress was virtually an unknown factor in those days; except among the punters at the horse races gripping their chair arms or biting on their fingernails as the horses went neck to neck by the winning post. Media and communications were slow \u2013 be it travelling or communicating with each other. There was only the radio to listen to for news broadcasts and entertainment in media communications. Of course there was the cinema for visual entertainment. Strict censorship did prevail and was strictly enforced. To ensure folks, especially the young, wouldn\u2019t get the wrong \u201cnotions\u201d. Controlled by strict moral codes and ethics; prevailing during this era. Listening to radio broadcasts of plays and dramas was such a thrill; with the re-enactment of the story in one\u2019s mind according to his\/her fantasies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The advancement and fast growth of science, technology and research has changed the \u201claid back era\u201d. The advancement is now a necessity in this era of toeing with the \u201cGlobal Economy\u201d and further developments are no doubt in the making. The old adage of \u201cNecessity is the Mother of Invention\u201d has taken a drastic turn in the new Global Economy of today; as these needful inventions are more in lines of how lucrative these inventions can be made into \u2013 yes, the \u201cGreed Factor\u201d is what one sees in the concept. Add to this are the many laws and freedoms that are abound. To mind comes that of \u201cFreedom of Choice\u201d; \u201cFreedom of Speech\u201d; \u201cFreedom of Rights\u201d and \u201cFreedom of Whatever\u2026..\u201d\u00a0 Thus we have now entered a newly conceived \u201cfast paced era\u201d or is it \u201cthe jet age era\u201d; or is it the \u201cjet-set era\u201d; in keeping with the wishes of the select section of the populace \u2013 be it good or bad?<\/span><\/p>\n

The God given human and spiritual values of yesteryear appear archaic and redundant in a society that has now been influenced by temptation; credit cards and life of spendthrift. Which are the products of greed; waste and wants. Stress is a factor that has crept in surreptitiously into the lives of those who follow these ways of temptation. Even the days of religious significance are marred by \u201ccommercialization\u201d. All you see are the \u201cBuy! Buy!! & Buy!!!\u201d signs. How often does one see the \u201cPray! Pray!! Pray!!!\u201d signs; except at the entrances to the Places of Worship. The only other sign may be the \u201cBye! Bye!! Bye!!!\u201d signs at ones farewell. Yes then it maybe a tad too late for repentance.<\/span><\/p>\n

If one does not follow the path of modernization they are deemed backward and \u201chave no life\u201d. Virtually calling them \u201cfrogs in the well\u201d. Modern Society requires that everyone must conform to advanced technology and way of life. The progress made no doubt is a very giant stride in a changing world of technology; human rights and economics. But one can only pose the question of its\u2019 effects on morality and spirituality. Knowing people for what they are; is now replaced (it seems) by \u201cknowing people for what they possess\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another old saying comes vividly to mind. It was my student days at a leading Catholic College, where oft did I hear them say \u201cPatience is a Virtue\u201d. What a wonderful saying which in translating from the dictionary revealed that \u201cPatience\u201d meant \u2013 \u201cThe ability to wait for something without frustration; which is a useful skill and a good aspect of one\u2019s personality\u201d<\/strong>. \u201c<\/strong>Virtue\u201d being moral excellence; goodness; righteousness\u201d. What a wonderful saying from the days of yore. But this saying lies somewhere neglected in the archives of the current generations. The flouting of it is vastly demonstrated by the motorists on the road. Perhaps they should flaunt the saying of \u201cIt\u2019s better to be Late than the Late\u201d. But not necessarily the motorist. You see the non-compliance to this old saying in every aspect of life these days. The disrespect for others are really rampant among most; and the saying of \u201cCourtesy\/Respect begets Courtesy\/Respect\u201d is now just a mirage.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the modernization process one wonders where \u201cthe age of innocence\u201d has gone? Where are the old sayings of \u201cgive respect to get respect\u201d and \u201ccourtesy begets courtesy\u201d gone? Only to be replaced by \u201cvariety is the spice of life\u201d (to its\u2019 fullest extent \u2013 be it bad or good) and \u201cmake hay while the sun shines\u201d. Into this melee one may even add the old saying of \u201ceach one for him\/her self and God for us all\u201d. Well I\u2019m no Philosopher; Specialist or Expert on the subject. I can only speak of my own views, thoughts and experiences encountered throughout the almost 8 and a half decades of my life; and leave the deductions in the hands of the Learned Reader. I still yearn for the good old days \u2013 days of togetherness; camaraderie and sincere feelings with one and all.<\/span><\/p>\n

To quote the Great Persian Poet Omar Khayyam \u2013 \u201cThe hand having writ, moves on\u201d. So my friends; here\u2019s hoping that you find the article of some use to you. Whatever you do; please remember that when you are born \u201cin innocence\u201d you also come with the Almighty\u2019s one way ticket and the rest is up to your goodself.<\/span><\/p>\n
