The World You Are Building

5/25/2020

My generation has accumulated 50+ years of real world experience and knowledge and we have watched the world as we know it crash and burn in ways both large and small many times.

We've seen great improvements in how we treat people from an interpersonal perspective, which I personally applaud, but we also recognize the quick erosion of the freedoms of the collective as though it was an equal exchange.

How do you take freedom from some, bestow it on others, and walk away thinking you have done something? It's smoke and mirrors, people.

My generation was also privileged by, and smart enough to cash in on, the wisdom and knowledge shared by the 2 generations that preceded us. Cautionary tales that are now playing out before us in high definition.

If you can't lay claim to an equal amount of actual real world knowledge and experience, if you've not walked a mile in the shoes of those who came before you, please stop rolling up on us like you got this. You should be listening to the generation that came before you, not trying to talk over them.

Maybe we weren't perfect, but we were steadily working toward improving on the growth of the generations that came before us, not trying to undo the progress of the last 200+ years.

You may want to look more closely at the world you are busily creating. You will live in it far longer than we will.
