One of the biggest differences between kids of the 90s and kids of the 50s, I feel, is that the 90s kids want to make the world a better place for those that come after. They may not LIKE the next generation but regardless of that its not enough of a reason to vote against them or make their lives crap. There is a recognition that, yes, the world will belong to someone other than us in a few decades and that world deserves to be preserved and protected for those inheriting it. That self-awareness just seems so faint among those who were kids in the 50s and 60s, a generation that only wanted the world they currently lived in and the next round would figure it out when its their turn. The fact that they didnt leaves them feeling bitter and smug towards those kids because they did so why cant we, not realizing that they laid the groundwork for making the world as difficult as it is now. From that comes an absolution of responsibility that its not their job to improve the world because they already had their time and just want to enjoy the retirement they earned. Complaining about your life is something bratty kids do who dont know real values. The younger generation grew up with technology and media making us more connected and knowledgeable outside our own neighborhoods. Its natural that empathy...especially at a surface level is more pronounced. --- My Mario Maker 2 Maker ID is J2K-RFD-K4G Even In sigs FOE! http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/665/328/d75.gif <cite>pikachupwnage posted [p:924598362] in Why is it ...
