One generation hating another for who SOME of them are or aren’t isn’t going to make one bit of difference in the outcome of anyone’s life, whether it’s true or not.
That’s why I think one of the most important things any of us can do, is to try to take care of ourselves and our own to the highest level possible for as long as we possibly can.
That’s my 2 cents.[/quote]
Interesting article, and really liked some of the comments on it.[/quote]
Yes, I noticed the comments were definitely emotionally charged from one extreme to the other. Lots of hatred–which is really fear–floating around out there.
IMO–in the final analysis–each of us either achieve our dreams in life or we don’t–regardless of who or what is to “blame.”[/quote]
Actually, the comments I’m referring to were quite rational and not emotionally-charged. They were saying that the “generation wars” are designed to distract us from what’s really causing the problems for the younger generations (outsourcing, corporatism, increasing wealth/income divide, etc.). It’s a bit like the “Democrat vs. Republican” battles…all designed to divide and conquer.
Personally, I prefer to live in a world where people have plenty of opportunities to achieve their dreams. Those opportunities have been shrinking dramatically over the past few decades, and you can’t blame the younger generations for being upset about it. This is not the same world that you and I experienced when we were young adults.
