Each generation gets a little further from God, less moral absolutes, less patriotic for their country and committed to just self-preservation only(I am god) as 'immense wealth' allows for this lazy narcissistic living to this point we have gotten to.
And I am not trying to dis on anyone generation either but we have gotten to a ridiculous point e.g of a grown man jumping up into the stands crying in his mommy's lap because he did not receive a trophy because he lost.
Wealth IMO can be far more lethal to a society and culture IF not handled appropriately than poverty.
Compare the 30's youth generation(considered the greatest) to today's generation. The greatest generation said "Here, hold my beer!" and today's generation say's "Just give me my Starbuck's and phone and leave me alone!!"
This is how far we have fallen. And it's not apples to oranges either that's BS !! |
What a ridiculous comparison. Right because guys like namath and bradshaw would be the same kind of qb with cameras following them around, millions of fans trolling their every move on social media, showering them with celebrity and making them millionaires at a very young age.
Hell, mj is the best competitor I’ve ever seen. Most people feel like he would’ve been destroyed if he grew up in todays age where more attention would be paid to the asshole things he did to win.
