A Different World
A simple fact has "struck home"....Young adults entering
college this year were 10 years old between 1995 and 1997.....
For a senior, like myself, I now fully understand why
I do not understand the attitudes, music and philosophy
of life held by these young people.....There is not ONE
"point of view" on which we can agree.....All historical
and sociological perspectives have changed dramatically
over the last 60 years or so.....
Their only telephones have been "cell", a computer has
replaced their need for "thought" and communication
has been reduced to a cryptic text message.....
Yep, and my only glee is to remember that in 60 years
they will live in a "different world"......Pumps
