Myths 2 ♥♠

I read Perseus' myths. Perseus is the image of a socially accepted young man and met the standars the society had put up back then. I compared it to the today status quo between the people and what the society, as well as all of those around, expect from teenagers. Perseus could be thought of a today role model:
- pleased the gods
- pleased his parents
- married a wonderful lady
- was accepted by those they looked up to
- endangered himself for everyone else and the nation

Nowadays, as the thoughts of revolution and evolution have come so fast to youngsters, these are no longer their main goals even thought they are similar to that of the oppresing community that surrounds us all. For example, today the teenagers no longer care about religion as much and dont necesarily believe the same as their parents even if those are the same thoughts they were brought up with.

I thought also of a modern day Perseus and it probably he would be dead. Group Presure, psycological presure, family and social pressure is so high now and so different each from each it would have killed him. I mean, a person cannot have flawless grades as well as being accepted by those around him as an equal and be the role model example for his siblings who have different thoughts and believes.
