As an older man, I have realized two very important things, that I'm hoping will keep me from turning into a grumpy old man who hates everything around him:
-
My world is gone. My present is in the past. That was between the time I was a kid old enough to remember anything and a young adult - say 25. After that, I kept living in an evolving world with the knowledge, values, truths and comfortable familiarities of my youth. And as time passed, they became more and more irrelevant in a world full of new young people with different knowledge, values and truths.
-
As a consequence, of course, when the world increasingly becomes dissonant with what you know, you become angry. You reject the world. You hate it and you think things were better when you were young. "Those damn kids and their rock and roll!" my Dad used to say. And I realize now that I fucking hate rap music like my Dad used to hate rock and roll. But crucially, I realize it's a me-problem.
The truth is, the kids of today are fine. I don't understand how they talk most of the time, but then my grandpa didn't understand me either when I was a kid. The world is no better or no worse than when I was a kid: we had the Cold War and the nuclear scares, you have Fascism 2.0. But the sun shines just as bright today as it did when I was a kid.
I have chosen to leave the world to those to whom it belongs: the young. I enjoy what I enjoy in it, and ignore what I don't. And most importantly, when I don't like something, I always ask myself whether it's because it's bad or because it doesn't match my outdated expectations. More likely than not, it's the latter. So I shut up and move on.
