Freshman vs. Senior
A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
“You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one.” The student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. “We, the young people of today, grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, men walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing and…,” pausing to take another drink of beer.
The Senior took advantage of the break in the student’s litany and said, “You’re right, son. We didn’t have those things when we were young ……..so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little fart, what are you doing for the next generation?”
The applause was resounding.. I love senior citizens.

I do not want to see the next generation taking over. When we were young we did not have riots and all the Bullsh*t going on. I went back to where I grew up and I was ashamed of the place.

An old man seated can see farther than a child standing! A child can run but cannot hide. Kudos, old chap!

The present-day young generation is going to be old within the next few years much faster than their preceding generation. Most of the present day comforts the young of today enjoy today are really gifted by their older generations who toiled so much. The present-day generation has to learn heavily on issues like relationships, hard work, commitment and simple life style of their elders. The talk between the old and the young specified above should serve as a reminder for the young about the role played by their elders in making the life of their next generation more comfortable, simple, and enjoyable.

@okosisi abagana Where the heck are you from? Don’t you keep up with what is happening now? Maria is right. This earth is not going to exist much longer because of what mankind is doing to it today. Removing all the minerals and water. Animals are going extinct and mankind is next! Wake up!
