This website shared with my fellow broadcaster Dave- here he is on our home page, is called The Aging of Aquarius, so yeah, from time to time we write about differences between generations.
Some wise words about the generation gap popped up in a Frank Bruni (New York Times) column a couple of months back. I’ve been thinking about this ever since.
“Older generations need younger ones to reconnect them with their idealism. But younger generations need older ones to turn that idealism into more than pretty words. They need the moral authority reserved for people who’ve done so much loving, so much losing and so much figuring out how to press on. They need the life lessons, which have grown from a pamphlet to an encyclopedia. What a waste not to read every last syllable of it.”

Beautifully said, Frank. Thank you.

I agree with every last word and syllable but our younger generations won’t figure this out until they’re our age and have non-communicative grand children of their own.
God really does have a wicked sense of humor.
It’ll be nice to be around to see/hear that development.
