Show Frustration or frustrated? I do not think that the majority of the people in America go along with this idea. Some 80 to 90 percent of the people are Christian and certainly cer-tainly their principles do not permit the violation of the majority of these moral and criminal standards. I can understand why a young person could throw his hands in the air and say, "I'm frustrated." That is no doubt an easy way out. But there are some who refuse to be frustrated and do not let these things get the best of them, because for some reason they have built up within themselves a strong defense against these things. Maybe they have listened to their parents or teachers and are smart enough and strong enough to resist these evil things. I really don't think we need to throw our hands in the air and lean on this word "frustration." Even though we are living in a complicated com-plicated world and have manv things thrown at us, some of which were not known to us a few years ago, that we should not be strong and determined enough to keep them from destroying our lives. Getting frustrated is not a good solution. It's a cop-out. People of this day and age must be stronger because there are many more evils , to resist. If some of them are strong enough to resist them then why can't the others do the same thing? This does not only apply to evil in the world today, but to all the new j technology and other knowledge that is coming forth. We just must j be stronger and more determined j and not let this complicated world with all its ramifications confuse us. We can be much stronger if we make up our minds to be. I associate every day with young people who have got themselves' together and are strong enough to control their destinies. Anyone can do it. As I see it By J. FORD ANDERSON Definition: bring to nothing: make useless or worthless; foil; - defeat. Thwart; baffle; Circumvent, Cir-cumvent, outwit. I have a feeling that we should be careful how we use the power of these words. Some will get frustrated by even the mention of them. This so called modern age has brought with it many changes which we all are faced with, especially the younger people. Things such as technology, morality, social changes and many more which have increased the responsiblity of all of us including our children. We are being tested to the hilt on evil vices, bad habits involving drugs, alcohol, morality, crime, adultery, fornication and someone or something has been telling us that it is alright to bend our ways ; and participate in these life i destroyers. |
