[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 692860, member: 1963"] The young and educated, like all young folks, will have unrealistic ideas of life and how they shall live it, UNTIL they discover that, for the most part, life lives THEM! What bothers me is that the young are willing to "throw away" the generations that came before them. There is no caring or respect for the elderly and sick in many cases. We (and those older than us), who should be reservoirs of wisdom for those who come after us, are now considered to be parasites. Even my mother does it when I try to get her to talk about her childhood and youth. "Oh. Why are you interested in those old stories?" Because, just as you are a part of me, your stories are a part of you, and hence, part of me as well. [/QUOTE]
