You know what I think? Parents shouldn't have such a big impact on the life of their kids, bc yes, you can be born into a functional family, but I know so many people who have mental health problems solely bc of the way their parents have treated them.
You can learn important emotions and compassion and the balance of boundaries in so many relationships. Parental advice is overrated in a fast evolving age as we are living in
The generation conflict: Old People: Young People are too young to know things, therefore, we know everything that is there to know Young People: Old People don’t know anything about those times, therefore everything they know is outdated and useless, so we know better
In conclusion nobody knows anything, thinking they know everything, except few who know they know nothing and are all the happier for that.
I’m jealous...
Sometimes I envy my kids. They’re so at ease plugging into the hive mind and connecting with people liking the things they do...
They grow up developing relationships no longer limited by geography, but based on shared interest.
I’ve been playing with social media over the last two years, simply because this is the world my kids grow up in and I should know and understand the basics.
Now I know the basics - and they’re powerful. I get it. At the same time I realize that I will never be fully at ease in this world. It’s not a world I grew up with, but one I familiarized myself with in my forties...
So yeah. I’m jealous. Sometimes.
Most times though I’m excited about the potential and the opportunity. For them - and for all of us.
don’t argue with elders saying the youth has no respect, you’ll have to bring up socrates and the middle ages and you’ll still lose
What's wrong with this picture?
Little backgroundinfo before I get to the actual story here: I am 30 and my 52 year old mom just moved in with me for reasons that don't matter right now.
I just finished "A Tale of Two Springfields", an episode of The Simpsons that also contains The Who and I figure: I haven't listened to the song "Won't get fooled again" in ages. So I get it up on Spotify when suddenly in the background I hear my mom ask: "Is that a new song?" Me: "..." *takes deep breath* "No... that's The Who..." Mom: "It does sound a bit like what they play in CSI Miami!" Me: "..."
