Today at lunch I heard some very similar complaints as those in that quote, coming from a few of my colleagues.
Every generation since ancient times seem have been mocked by the previous generation for being worse than they were when they were young.
Funny that, that despite every generation apparently getting worse and worse, the accusations have barely changed…
This is quite fascinating – and somehow, reassuring 🙂
It really is reassuring to know that we are not actually getting worse and worse as a species 🙂
Now if we could only change a bit more in the other direction..
Oh, indeed…😕
We are capable of so much good, and we should not dwell too much on the bad we are capable of, but we should also not forget it.
But the wast majority of people has more good in them than bad 🙂
