Reply #61: Nothing wrong with offering inspiration

[blues90]

I hope your generation has better luck than mine did. I am not against nor is my intent to tell anyone they should not have hope especially when it's their future now much more than mine.

What I wrote is the reality I see and to look at it is far from easy.

The boomer generation at least a section of it which was not all that large lost faith in government and authority figures which was mainly brought about by the war.

Many of us were too idealistic and perhaps went about it the wrong way if you look back on it from todays standards.

It was our effort that counted and we were young at the time. Yet we could see how things were going and tried to bring people to become aware of it.

Watching the leaders who spoke out at the time murdered was quite a shock. Compare that if that happened now and you find hopes and dreams dashed in an instant. You then realize there are powers out there you never knew existed to that extent. ie , nothing is really what it appears to be.

Today is much more complicated ,it's a different world yet the powers that be still keep people in the dark to even a greater extent than during the 60's.

We still had the option to get a job and make a living , in that sense you who are young now have that added worry to deal with.

Take our failures and discard them and take our success and expand on them.
