Women also follow this change.

Women also follow this change. It is not possible that she remain in her traditional mould. In previous generations, a son was inclined to fit exactly into his father's mould. His father had no fear or apprehension that his son may be other than him. There was no difference between them. There were such strong feelings and ties between them that no doubt or indecisive­ness could be heard in their words. But today it is not like this.

One of the peculiarities of our generation, whether in the East or in the West, is the distance between the two generations. From the point of view of 'calendar time', their distance is 30 years, but from the point of view of society's time, 30 centuries. Yesterday, society was permanent. Values and social characteristics were incapable of change. In a period of 100, 200, 300 years, nothing changed.

The foundation of society, the forms of production and distribution, type of consumption, social relationships, government, type of religious publicity, religious ceremonies, created things, negative and positive values, art, literature, language, and all other things were the same during a father's and a grandfather's lifetime as in the time of their children and grandchildren.

The Worthy and the Unworthy In such fixed worlds and closed societies, where so­ciety's time stands still, men and women are of a perma­nent type. It is perfectly natural that a daughter be an exact copy of her mother. If there is a difference of opinion between a mother and her daughter, it only rela­tes to extraneous things in life or it arises from daily con­flicts.

If it has its roots in the difference between a forbid­den or corrupt personal ethics, it would have been some­thing which all groups and all social types agree to. They all agree to and accept the same things as being corrupt­ion. It is not the case that one group considers such and such an action to be proper whereas another group con­siders its description alone to be corruption as is the case now.

But in the world today, a girl, without having gone astray, without having fallen into corruption, creates a distance between herself and her mother. They are strang­ers to each other. An age difference of 15, 20 or 30 years separates them into two distinct people, two human beings attached to two different social cycles, attached to two histories, two cultures, two languages, two visions and two lives. Their relationship is such that only their home ad­dresses are the same.
