Yeah precisely. Really, I get that every generation is going to shit on the younger one and I know mine will do the same but I really wish Boomers and Gen Xers who especially took a lot of grief from the older generations would be a little empathetic. And frankly I am quite proud of my generation since we’re one of the most tolerant towards people that are different than ours.

“I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words… When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint”

—Hesiod, 8th century BC
