Yes we can be heroes! But who are we?
Yes, what generation are we talkin' about when we write about them?
I mean, let's face it... we read in newspaper and blogs about the new age generation, the Mac generation, the generation of '69... and so on... but when I think about it, the meaning is hard to keep... I mean, we used to say it about everything but it was always clear in the past, that one generation was the generation of our grandmothers and fathers, the next generation was our parents, and then came we, but here we are and.... time has changed so fast that it seems every five year we have a new generation.... well then... this is not exactly true... because the experiences we have are very common and in the same time so different.. isn't like that? I mean I grew up in a system, five year younger can barely remember, but they grew up in that old system too, but today they just know what they heard or read about the system... or let's look of the view of the future, how we see it... the 30-something till 50 use to see it very flexible... but our search for a better thing is more than ever and we fight... for better times... we do not only believe in money... we never did... but many of the 20 something are more conservative then the 30+..... you know, and then with the technics... in "old" times it was always the youngest with the newest but today... Facebook has a problem with under 25 year old... you're out when you're on Facebook, but then some of my oldest friends have Ipad and Iphone and all the modern stuff I don't even have or dream of to have... who is the new generation, who is in and out? How can we talk about a Mac Computer generation if it's not about age now, because it all mixes up together...? How can we talk about the generation who sees the world future negative... ? My classmate and I -we saw it not so positive in the beginning of our live after school, but many of us changed their mind...
Or if the papers write about the generation of the 90's.... today I see many kids in the age of 25 till 30 doing the same way of living as we did that time.... are they the new 90's?
But all together we now have started to fight agains bad things in the world or in our country...
How can you call this one generation...?
Do we need a new name? Or do we just call it like it is? I mean, call it what we do... people who.... not generations....
I know we like to put everything in a drawer.... it seems to make the things easier, but nowadays we are a generation of people who no longer can say they don't know that things are more complicated...
Maybe that's the only one thing we can call it with the word "Generation"- We are a generation who no longer can say, that they don't no the causes and effects and that they don't know what happened when they act or don't... we all know the history and we all know the mistakes and what had happen, we all know where to look for answers and so no one, really no one can truly say: " I did not knew what I was doing!.. What I have caused."
WE are the well known generation, the generation who is connected to every part of the earth. WE KNOW....
But yes I know we like to look away.... much too often.... but it's getting harder to do... and this is something good... :-)
LOVE & LIGHT
