Youth is dead

I participated in a debate in my freshman year, and it should be the only one if it is not unexpected. The topic is very socialist: should a good horse eat the grass.
Because it’s a freshman debate, and basically no classmates understand it, I, as the class leader, the team secretary, and two other classmates who just pulled in, set up a grass-roots team. With the help of two sophomores I came into contact with the debate once, preparing materials all night, writing, revising, memorizing, revising, and memorizing the manuscript. I was very motivated and motivated, but I always felt that something was wrong. Finally, when the real debate came, I finally Finding out what was wrong-it was wrong from start to finish, this is not a debate at all.
Why are we debating?
Not to release excessive hormones, nor to find excuses to use words to suppress others in a certain area, but to force thinking in more impactful situations, in order to gain a deeper understanding of those sharp ones that young people should understand. Questions, in order to have the thinking of supporters and opponents at the same time, for these, people are debating.
Debate is a serious matter.
You need to prepare all night, read a lot, fight yourself in your mind, come up with your own theories and attack yourself, keep your mind in a state of tension all the time, you have to think about the ugliness and real existence that you know you can’t solve. Darkness, you even have to maintain everything you hate.
However, it is the things that make us feel so sick that we want to vomit that teach us the most.
This is the meaning of the debate.
Many people will be curious about why you want to debate, because you know that even if you win, you can't change anything. You can't even change the opponent you defeated, and he will still stick to his point of view. But the most important thing is that the debate changes you, and this is his most important meaning.
But our youth, what are they thinking when they are debating?

Oh, Oh.
There are also debates similar to "graduating employment or starting a business", "eloquence is important or literary talent important", and even more debates about "Is it better to find a college girl or a college girl for dating in college". I am not fifty cents, nor an angry youth, but I still want to ask, apart from these shallow topics and the livelihood of the people, what should we young people really think about?
There is no sharp thinking, no thinking about the destiny of the country, no concern for current affairs, and only the actual smelly money, and the so-called achievements, love, and trends. Such young people are just a hanging An old heart.
After "culture is dead", what I see is "youth is dead."
