No,......actually,...I've been blessed for some reason.
My life is grand,....and all I did is go through the paces.
That is the most honest thing I've seen posted today, I actually try to live my life the same way.
Bristoe, you always have a place to stay in the black hills. and Thank you for not taking your position to belittle and downplay the generations that followed you.For the rest believe it or not, there are still lots of good people being born, and you do more to harm our way of life than help it by saying all generations after yours suck. granted it's easy, cause you've already made it. we're still struggling to do the same.
My kids are nineteen and fourteen, respectively. I don't know what generation that makes them, but they're good kids and they've got a lot of friends that are good kids too. I doubt one generation differs much from another, basically. I've never understood the propensity humans demonstrate for running down other generations. Of course, my parents generation really funked things up for mine. lolol
Bingo! this is my point exactly, No one faults the boomers for taking advantage of what they were given by the greatest generation. but to look down on the following ones for not having the opportunities they got is ridiculous and extremely short sighted and smug. But hey, if it makes you feel good about yourself.....
There's what you're not getting. I agree that the same opportunities aren't there. But there are opportunities we didn't have. The whining is unproductive, and looks bad.
I completely agree, the biggest whining comes from the boomers about how horrible the future generations are. You might not be one of the ones whining, but it is prevalent from your generation. I don't whine about how much better other had it before me, not my style. I made do with what I was given which was life. yes there are new opportunities the same as any generation, but I would wager at some point in your life someone recognized what you were capable of and gave you an opportunity. am I wrong? when I look at what I paid for college vs in the 60's or 70's, plus house costs, and vehicles etc. yeah there's a lot that isn't the same, not your fault. I think I made it clear that I wasn't blaming you or your generation from the beginning. I don't fault you for being prosperous, I just think it's pompous for those who had it better to belittle others who have actually done more with less and then calling them worthless. I mean, snowflakes aside, because they are all worthless..... regardless of generation, I think you called yours hippies.
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.
