The history of human civilization is inevitably the history of ‘thinking’. The day when man was first aware of his thinking aptitude, when he had first represented the ‘concept of thinking’ in his thinking process, he had instantaneously explored an un-trodden domain before him. He got stunned, dumbfounded, and astounded at his exploration of this novel entity within him. And we don’t know when this tacit phase of mind was first set in motion to stir up the physical and metaphysical facet of knowledge within him. It came straightaway to be known to him that he was not an all told summation of some peripheral physical organs which he had thought himself to be comprised of. He had known for the first time that he was the total sum of some abstract ideas, signs, and attributes. He subsequently ascertained himself to be the ‘being’ made up of subjective and objective, substantial and insubstantial, and physical and metaphysical associates. He encountered his physical world after having come into his ‘being’, and his ‘being’ was vice-versa introduced to the external physical world after having been put into a concrete infrastructure. He had his thinking and intelligence trace his physical reality. Following this logical process entails, ‘thinking’ as the prerequisite to all reality. Let us keep this overtly debated, controversial, and dubious philosophical issue apart to be settled down by the philosophers. What if this much-emphasized ‘thinking faculty’ of man is hindered in all respects from being revealed and exposed accordingly?

It is mentionable that we should not be defied the freedom of thinking, and deprived of the most imperative essence of our being, our existence, that is, the revelation of our thoughts by means of language. Blocking the way of thinking involves hindering the way of language. We have managed to secure our language at the price of blood, but have yet to be able to comprehend and maximize the freedom of language to reveal our thoughts. We have been made to drink a cup of magical hemlock to cause us a drowsy inertness at the interval of which the power-in-power tends to materialize a crazy dance. And our state of sluggish inertia and sleepiness may likewise be compared to the animated statue or a dead man devoid of ‘thinking’. What is the factor there to incite man’s inner being in consequence of his reaction to the external substantial and hedonistic world, other than his unobtrusive implicit knowledge comprised of the tacit principles of his sub-conscious mind? It is certainly the inextricably vigorous entity of language and thoughts ever actuated in his being.

Language fabricates the basis of our thoughts and culture since every nation and culture is to be segregated from the rest in terms of the language it has. That is how we have put ours aside from the unified whole, the infinite, the motion, the oneness, the universal to come into our specific and discrete existence. Language is the only means to have let humans get across a tremendous range of attitudes and information, biases and truths so far we are concerned. And it may so far more been deemed to be the thing to have permitted the building of a tradition through which a person’s thoughts and actions can be influenced by the thoughts of someone who lived hundreds of years earlier. And the thinkers of each generation pass the legacy of their thoughts on to the subsequent generations to contribute immensely to constructing the trends of their (members of the subsequent generations) thoughts and the foundation of their culture.

Nowadays all the youth’s observation, thinking, analysis, explication and elucidation find expression in Facebook, and this is how they learn to condemn and praise any issue, status quo, occurrence, and experience on the basis of their comprehensive and constructive ethical value. Sharing thoughts with their friends and the others indirectly facilitates them to constitute their estimations, beliefs, and vision of themselves, their fellow beings, and the place they are dwelling in. We in regard to this process ought to help the young as far as we can regardless of our different ideological stance.

Since the young are mostly facilitated with the advent of avant-garde technology, the forthcoming leadership of the world is destined to be defined in their hands. As they have endowed themselves with a good grasp of this ostensibly all-pervading system of technology at their disposal, the world, therefore, is surely to leave place to them as to take up an outright novel meaning to be executed by.
