[00:01.49] Lesson 5
[00:03.31] Youth
[00:10.57] How does the writer like to treat young people?
[00:16.76] People are always talking about 'the problem of youth'.
[00:21.23] If there is one--which I take leave to doubt
[00:24.73] --then it is older people who create it,not the young themselves.
[00:29.87] Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings
[00:36.39] --people just like their elders.
[00:38.96] There is only one difference between an old man and a young one:
[00:43.25] the young man has a glorious future before him
[00:46.68] and the old one has a splendid future behind him:and maybe that is where the rub is.
[00:55.19] When I was a teenager,I felt that I was just young and uncertain--
[00:59.90] that I was a new boy in a huge school,
[01:03.34] and I would have been very pleased to be regarded
[01:05.95] as something so interesting as a problem.
[01:09.48] For one thing,being a problem gives you a certain identity,
[01:14.15] and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.
[01:19.81] I find young people exciting.
[01:22.83] They have an air of freedom,
[01:25.09] and they have not a dreary commitment to mean ambitions or love of comfort.
[01:30.70] They are not anxious social climbers,and they have no devotion to material things.
[01:37.10] All this seems to me to link them with life and the origins of things.
[01:42.36] It's as if they were in some sense cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures.
[01:52.40] All that is in my mind when I meet a young person.
[01:56.15] He may be conceited,ill-mannered, presumptuous or fatuous,
[02:02.55] but I do not turn for protection to dreary cliches about respect for elders--
[02:08.28] as if mere age were a reason for respect.
[02:12.00] I accept that we are equals,and I will argue with him,as an equal,if I think he is wrong.
