Generation Gap
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.
"The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with DSL, BPS, 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 shit - what are you doing for the next generation?"

I loved this,jbwala. We all
I loved this,jbwala. We all like to live in reflected glory. It's so tempting to take personal credit for things that we have not done, using labels such as my country,my religion etc.

A good article
to make the younger generation aware how much they owe the forefathers for the ease and comforts they have today. I really liked the way you ended the article. We should have more articles of this kind to teach the next generation not to take things for granted.
Great!
That is what my grandfather used to tell to us, when we were naughty. I am really curious , what are we preparing for next generation.
Keep writing!
