It’s easy to reflect on the past and “the way things were” and cast it in a positive light. We glorify the way things were before because we often enjoyed more security as children, or in young adulthood - our parents looked out for us. As adults, we’re faced with grim reality and the facts of life. This is really just a regurgitated “kids today…” complaint. I have stopped giving the benefit of the doubt to anyone who talks about wokeness as a problem. Being aware of our society is not the cause of our ills. It’s the subject of that awareness. The skyrocketing housing market, collapsed investments, legislatures building legal loopholes to existing law, healthcare, racial bias, etc. If people are turning every which way desperate to find a direction it’s because the walls erected by previous generations are unassailable and closing in.
