I think the number one problem with my generation is that we don't finish what we start. We don't have the ability to just sit down, accept the situation, do what should be done, and finish it. There are so many potential reasons for this I don't even know where to begin, but I'm sure you can think of plenty more.
Over-stimulation and influx of information. How the fuck is anyone supposed to focus?
We were told never to settle. This is, of course in direct contrast to what every other generation who ever lived was told, which was essentially "deal with it."
Most of us grew up spoiled. Again, compared to 99% of the people who have ever lived or who live in less fortunate circumstances, living in a warm shelter, lit with electricity and fed until we are all fat isn't such a bad deal. The only thing is, we get complacent, then we expect more and more and more.
We were told we could do anything. I am someone who struggles with this because I sometimes feel like I'm trying to be EVERYTHING instead of just what I can be. And I jump from one thing to the next without finishing what I started.
Most people are fat and lazy.
The thing is, there are no excuses. At a certain point, we as individuals (everyone, not just those in my generation) need to realize that we are in complete control of what we choose to do, who we choose to be, and what we choose to finish. I have hope that young people will use the power of technology and information to become more aware and informed, and change the way people think and behave. It has never been so easy to be so well educated, and yet, there are just so many damn Taco Bells.
Don't go to Taco Bell. Do something useful.
This has been a rant.
