(30,481 posts)I have seen older generations attacked along these lines in the past. I like that this shows good things done by older generations. It is not that older generations don't care about the environment, it is how we can build on the good things they have done.
All generations have had something to offer. All generations have failed us in some way. We are not perfect. Those blaming the generations before them simply don't want to do the work necessary to make things better. They want to lay blame instead of take action.
Older generations sometimes want to shake their heads at the younger generations just to show some level of superiority. And why not. They feel they have been around longer and know best. That is not always the case.
What I got from your op is that both the older person and the younger person both care about the environment. Unfortunately they care about personal battles even more.
I understand it is fictitious, but at the same time some of it is rooted in reality.
