Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine. It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

“This younger generation is the problem.”
False.
This generation didn’t build the world we live in, previous generations did. If the world is worse now than it was when you were young, that has more to do with past generations than the current one.
Older generations are responsible for the problems & circumstances that younger generations have to contend with – not the other way around.
If you think the majority of people who are poor are poor because they spend irresponsibility, you haven’t done the math on how much most jobs pay vs how much it actually costs to live in the modern world.
Those who make more than they need are far more likely to spend their money irresponsibly than those who don’t. And they generally have far more fun doing it & deal with far less stress afterwards.
It’s one thing to be able to buy things you don’t need, it’s another thing entirely to have to sacrifice the quality of your life do it.
Many of the strongest and most rewarding relationships are formed by people who don’t agree on everything.
With a respectful attitude and an open mind, people with conflicting views can help each other grow and learn by assisting one another in seeing the world from a different perspective.
An expanded point of view is a good thing.
No matter how much the media wants to pit one group against the other, nothing is ever as black and white as it’s made out to be. The fact is, we’re all human, we all share this planet, and on many levels, we’re on the same side.
You will find that making peace with people is far more rewarding — and leads to far greater things — than waging battles with anyone who holds an opposing view.
