Disappointed in My Generation

[MuseRider]

32. I have felt that way for some time now

and I don't understand it.

We were on our way to making things better for everyone, it was going to take our lifetimes and more but we meant to do it. The ONLY thing I can think of after thinking of this so much was the fact that we were touted as the generation that would do much better than our parents did. I think that was said about all generations until now but I remember how much things changed during my growing up years. The elections and political trends went right.

I don't really know but I am as disappointed in it as my kids are. I am sick hearing all the hate on the boomers, there are so many of us who tried and have worked our asses off all our lives to do what we intended way back in the olden Woodstock years. I guess a good many of us were spoiled and decided we needed it all.

Remember, we did one hell of a lot of good as we headed through the years, a hell of a lot.

I would bet there are many in every generation that are disappointed with their generation as it gets long in the tooth and takes the blame for the ills of the world.

Still, we were so idealistic and it really hurts to see what we, better put our generation, have done.

The WORLD wants things this way, I do not think it can be changed now but will work my hardest on my way out of it to keep it from getting worse.
