Imagine for a moment you were born in the year 1900. At age 14, World War I breaks out, ending at age 18, leaving 22 million dead.
Shortly after, a global pandemic appears, the Spanish flu, which kills 50 million people. And you survive, at 20 years.
At 29, you survive the global economic crisis that starts with the fall of the New York Stock Exchange, causing inflation, unemployment and hunger.
At age 33, Nazism comes to power.
When you're 39, World War II starts and ends when you're 45, with 60 million dead.
At 52 years old, the Korean War begins.
When you're 64 years old, the Vietnam War starts and ends when you're 75.
Then a person born in 1985 thinks that their grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, not knowing that they have survived several wars and disasters.
Facts but I don't believe much of that was front and center like it is today. People worry about way too much crap these days because it's plastered on news, online etc.
I think the point of it is that the young people today haven't gone through the kind of struggle their grandparents went through in the west. The worst thing they have to go throigh is there pronouns being misunderstood...
I think there are far bigger struggles than that in todays world lol
You're absolutely right. I was exaggerating and the plastered in your face endless wars that are going on today are bring on new internal and political conflict amongst those countries that aren't directly effected.
There are a lot of problems in today's world... and perhaps the world is always like that on different levels
