Generation Gap?
Generation gap? Whatever it is, I haven't fallen into it. Yet. I hear this often: "the older generation doesn't understand", "the older generation is the problem", "the older generation doesn't think like we do". First of all, I am still alive last time I checked. I breathe, I pay taxes, I walk the sidewalks and donate to my society. I AM this generation and will be until the day I die. Live with it kids. And no, my thinking isn't frozen in the fifties. I have an i phone, a number of computers and I am informed daily about what is going on in the world and in my neighbourhood. Don't treat me like an idiot - at least not yet. For sure, one day I will droop and scrape and not remember but today, here I am and I am IN this generation whether you think so or not. Like you one day when YOU grow older, I vote, I buy, I even volunteer. You work, you pay, you hope for a better future. You do everything I do albeit a little faster but sometimes you trip over your young ego a bit, kiddo. It takes all of us: the old, the young, the handicapped, the sick, the well and the nut cases. We ARE this generation.
