I belong to this generation so called "The silent generation" because I was born in the last century, the 20th, lol...
Without statistical dehumanization, I think....To attribute this mania or way of classifying and homogenizing human generations by period is uncomfortable and even bizarre.
From my point of view, at any stage, time and period, it is still important to plan my activities and actions every day, and that makes me like the idea of being a unique, authentic and unrepeatable person better than the "Silent" generation.
That we are all human beings, thinking beings, and that to think is to have one's own opinion. That thinking creates the possibility of dissent. Without thinking there is no critical thinking. Thinking personalizes each one of us with his circumstances and biographies, of life itself.
Attributing patterns of thought and behavior to the individual only based on the period in which he was born is a superstition proper to astrology.
My message to any generation of the 20th and 21st centuries, is the same as always...
Do not be afraid to walk the kilometers to get where you want, do not be afraid to wait and then move on, do not be afraid to have patience, never be afraid to live with everything. Many times we fail, many times we fail, many times we fight, but when we have our destiny marked between eyebrows, we can always succeed.
Do not be afraid of your journey, trust in your actions and never lose hope that fate will tell you, in the end, "ok, succeed!”.
Exercise self-esteem with all that it implies. Look at how cool, how nice, how ugly, how beautiful and even how smart you are, and they are also decisions and actions, often uncomfortable, that confront your beliefs, your bonds and your way of seeing life. It is a deeply honest process that hurts, because it involves dismantling everything you pretended to please and applies to all generational eras.
We mistakenly believe that it is a duty, an obligation to "be able to do everything" and keep 🤫, because seeking help is a sign of weakness.
The truth is that we have passed through dark places, some of us have managed to leave with more wisdom, maturity and resilience. Learning the lesson at every stage, time of life regardless of the human generation, what he seeks is to be our best version always.
How hard it is to be a bad person these days.🫣 After a "I never imagined getting to this age and" there always comes a maudlin bullshit. It doesn't fail. The phrase is even more maudlin when it is said from the gifted poltronics of having reached the age of not having to breathe.
To be forced to point out irony with quotation marks, underlined in red, written laughter and emojis about my silent generation, is vulgar and condescending.
It is preferable to bet on the reader's insight or resign yourself to misunderstanding. There is a huge world waiting for you. Books you haven't read yet that will make you feel at home. Places you haven't seen yet that will take your breath away. People who will love you unconditionally, make you laugh until your chest hurts and remind you what it feels like to be alive. Please don't give up. Your story is not over yet. There is more joy ahead than you can imagine.
