Ambivalent...

I’m going to tell you one of my fears. I’m 27 years old right now, and I feel that I’ve missed my peak. I mean I haven’t even started working yet, for real. I am working, but not with what I want. I feel like I’m, like Kurt Vonnegut would say, unstuck in time. Where I am now, I should have been perhaps a decade ago, and I believe that goes for a lot of people. Just look at our grandparents and their lives, hell, just look at our own parents. When did they start a family? When did they step onto the career ladder?

Our biological clock isn’t in sync with the clock of the society. We live longer lives today; True. We live until we are roughly eighty, and by 64 we are retired. Furthermore, if we all start to work when we are 25-30, the society, or the state will only gain from our labor during 35 to 40 years. Only during 50% of our lives we help the world spin. During the other 50 we slow it down. It’s a no win situation. How should we be able to justify our own generation when we have done nothing to prosper the society, to grow a better place for our children or simply put; To evolve the world?

We can’t justify our wars like our grandparents could! We can’t justify the way we are living while we have all the facts about what our lifestyle does to the planet. We can’t justify anything really.

We are unstuck in time, unstuck in history.

The people of our generation are the pee poles of the future.
