Meeting in the Middle

I have lived long enough to observe, and read enough to learn, that present generations and previous ones, have always had their difficulties accepting the other. The older generation invariable believes the younger group arriving on the scene comes far short of its own. That wisdom, no doubt, will die with them; and therefore youth is wasted on the young. While on the other hand, the young contemporaries feel new is always better, and that anything from the past is outdated, archaic, and obsolete. Therefore, there will always remain this great chasm between the two. That is, until a bridge-builder shows up.

Let’s not allow youthful pride, or senior stubbornness keep us from picking up hammer and nails. We both have a lot to contribute to one another, if we are willing to build from each side and meet in the middle!
