    As long as there is an older generation hanging on to what they know, there will always be a conflict with a younger generation that sees a new path clearly.

    Even my generation is not immune. We were quite aware of what we were going through, but we need to know that the new children are the ones we’ll be spitting on and as much as we might like to break that cycle, it seems like this is just a circle of life kind of thing.

    The best we can do is Our Thing ™, and let them do Their Thing ™.

    And so it goes.

    There’s been a lot of talk about ‘standards’ lately. Many people of a certain age are lamenting the loss of standards. They are also crying about kids on their lawn, I suppose.

    They’re not mad about standards. They’re mad that a new generation of people aren’t listening to them when they stamp their feet and yell that it’s always been done a certain way, and opt instead to come up with a new way to do it.

    I hate to be dark about it, but eventually the annoyance will cease. Luckily, it will never have stopped us from the work.
