In Pursuit of Happiness

A recent article in New York Times discusses that the young adults seem to become more spiritual however are not necessarily following the organized religions. Young people are turned off by the organized religions as most of them have become corrupt over the period of time. The baby boomers rebelled against religious Puritanism and Generation X carried on this further becoming agnostic and atheist. However, that did not result happiness either. No wonder, the pendulum seems to be swinging back towards spirituality among the young adults belonging to Generation Y or the Millennial. This generation is more open to new ideas and will be less orthodox in its views. It is a warning to the organized religions. The choice for them is either to become more open, tolerant and willing to change or decay.
