Old people are always saying that the young people are not {{U}}(51) {{/U}} they were. The same comment is {{U}}(52) {{/U}} from generation to generation and it is always {{U}}(53) {{/U}}. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy {{U}}(54) {{/U}} freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so {{U}}(55) {{/U}} on their parents. Events which the older generation remember vividly are {{U}}(56) {{/U}} more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is {{U}}(57) {{/U}} from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.
The old always assume that they know best for the simple {{U}}(58) {{/U}} that they have been {{U}}(59) {{/U}} a bit longer. They don't like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the {{U}}(60) {{/U}} are doing. They are questioning the {{U}}(61) {{/U}} of their elders and disturbing their complacency. They take leave to {{U}}(62) {{/U}} that the older generation has created the best of all possible worlds. What they reject more than {{U}}(63) {{/U}} is conformity. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn't people work best if they were given complete freedom and {{U}}(64) {{/U}}? And what {{U}}(65) {{/U}} the clothing? Who said that all the men in the world should {{U}}(66) {{/U}} drab grey suits? If we turn our {{U}}(67) {{/U}} to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used {{U}}(68) {{/U}} to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more {{U}}(69) {{/U}} possessions? Can anything be right with the retrace? Haven't the old lost {{U}}(70) {{/U}} with all that is important in life?
