Every generation
wishes it was born in the next generation. There are more doors of opportunity, more evolution every few
years…
The minus here
is that the earlier generation does not necessarily have the ability to adapt
to changes, especially in the academic field. Of course, knowledge brings in
many more changes, e.g., in sophistication, behavioral patterns and many personality aspects.
Today, when I
see the elders keeping pace with trends, technology and the overall pace of life, I feel a deep sense of respect
for them. At least, they try. The youth of today does not probably realize how
challenging it has been for their parents' generation to survive within the
rapid growth of societies, waiting to be loved and wanted by their children who
have moved into a bubble of contemporary life, with not enough compassion for
the elders , many of who have not been as privileged.
