This weekend we were discussing raising children and the boys said the funniest thing: they said that they worried about how kids today would turn out, how everything is handed to them nowadays, and how they don't get to use their imaginations the way THEY did growing up. I told them that everyone had said the same thing about their generation and they were amazed. They said they did roleplaying games that lasted all day long. In fact, to hear them you would think I threw them out at sunrise and locked the doors. They gave the impression that all they had to play with was a stick and a rock, but somehow managed to make do. They magnanimously don;t seem to hold their deprived childhood against us. There WAS a connection to your post in my head when I started writing. What was it? Maybe it is about looking back at earlier times as being halcyon. Maybe we don't need to panic at the present. It either isn't that bad, or, if it is, it doesn't matter, since we'll remember it as good anyway. There.
