RE: Why Does Everyone Hate the Generation They Were Born Into?

in #life8 years ago (edited)

I am a Baby Boomer and a lot of people talk about the good old days, but in my opinion, life is much better now than it was before. I can write to a total stranger and his followers, who in fact is not such strangers to me anymore, reading your ideas and others', brings us so much closer together.
We never imagined this to be possible in "the good old days".

Times were very hard and life was definitely not as easy as it is now. Now you can virtually go anywhere in the world and the wonderful thing is, people (normal ones!) are all the same loving, interesting people as in my country. We all have the same needs, feelings and emotions - we are all unique.

The only thing I really miss for our children, is the freedom that we had. We could play outside in the veld or have picnics in the mountains without fear of being killed or even raped. Now the children gets locked up in their homes.

The Millennials are lots of fun, you can have interesting conversations with them, they are always willing to help with modern technology and their general knowledge is amazing. They were the ones who taught me about internet and what an amazing instrument a computer is. My adopted son is a millennial baby and he is absolutely normal and very up to date with what is going on in the world, if you want to know something they 'google' it, now I do my google myself, thanks to the millennials!

Times are changing, but not people. The only thing I don't like about the millennials is their music - there are some tunes that you can actually whistle when listening to it! As long as they are enjoying it, I'm happy, tastes differ, thanks goodness for that.
