What is destroying our youth isn’t just substance abuse and reckless culture—it is the shameless excuse of calling self-destruction “personal freedom.”
Look at what is happening around us today. We are watching young lives derail before our eyes. Disrespect toward parents has become trendy, mocking elders is treated as cool, and unchecked indulgence is marketed as “free thinking.”
Whenever someone tries to step in, the modern crowd uses the same tired excuse: “It’s their life, their choice. Let them do whatever feels right!”
Let’s be completely honest: having the license to destroy yourself is not freedom.
Living purely on impulse with zero boundaries is how animals exist. Humans were given reason, conscious restraint, and moral clarity to know when to say “no” to their own impulses.
Even secular science admits that boundless freedom without discipline breeds depression. The ancient texts warned us long before:
“Like a city whose walls are broken down is a person who lacks self-control.” — Proverbs 25:28
“Have you seen the one who takes their own desires as their god? Would you then be a guardian over them? Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are only like cattle; nay, they are even more astray.” — Surah Al-Furqan (25:43-44)
We spent the last few decades mocking family traditions and religious values as “outdated.” And what did that actually give us? Homes without peace, friendships built on fake validation, and a generation that cannot feel happy for five minutes without an artificial high or a screen.
Morality is not a cage to lock you down. It is the guardrail on a cliff that keeps you from falling into the abyss. If homes stop building that character into children, the whole society crumbles.
Can police and laws ever fix this crisis if families and sacred values refuse to step up?
