He yelled at her.
Yes, G-Pop rebuked his teenage granddaughter because she failed to attend one of his performances when he was passing through the area.
She was offended.
To a certain degree, that made him even more angry, though he understood her predicament. From her perspective, she was young and he was old.
There was a danger that the “old” would link up with “fashioned” to make him completely unacceptable to her lifestyle.
Old-fashioned.
Why would she want to go out and see something old-fashioned or invite her friends to it? He understood.
It is the fear of every generation–that on their journey they would accidentally haul along pieces of their parents, which might classify them as completely out of step with new-fangled conclusions. She did not understand that G-Pop was fully aware of the dangers of being old-fashioned.
The true definition of old-fashioned is clinging to things you used to do even though they have proven to be ineffective, simply because you’ve grown accustomed to a certain way.
But in the world of reality, a prophet is a wise soul who studies history, then carefully predicts when it will repeat itself.
To always be current is to understand and deal with five important questions:
1. Does it take away freedom?
If it does, it won’t last very long.
2. Does it take away life?
Whatever kills eventually assassinates. In other words, if you limit or destroy life, you will be the final victim.
3. Does it take away faith?
As intriguing as it may be to shake your fist at the heavens, events will come your way which produce the need to lift your hands.
4. Does it take away equality?
Yes, it’s cute to talk about how men and women are ill-suited to one another, but since we share a planet, eventually we will have to learn to get along.
5. Does it take away motivation?
Listening to an interview with Howard Stern and the comedian, Louis C. K., both of them pointed out that smoking marijuana leaves people dull and disconnected. So even though there may be a rallying cry to legalize weed, it can never catch on, because the human race is–as advertised–actually a race.
G-Pop wished he could make his granddaughter understand, but popular ideas always show up in new, shiny boxes, failing to reveal … that they are recycled.
