Thank you very much for this great "brainsharing"!
I couldn't agree more with everything you said... About us as kids having older role models, but still criticizing adults (nowadays kids do something similar, especially teenagers... they know it all the best... 😃)... Don't know their role models today... maybe some young people who reach "fame" very fast, and they have them as role models... crazy TikTokers, and people doing ridiculous videos...
Also, the neighbors' "culture" is something that doesn't exist anymore... Only the older generation is saluted on the street, or wishes a good day... Having a son at a young age, I do wonder what's missing the most... Respecting older people more? Or just listening to others (don't have to comply), or something else? Don't know...
Or, I'm just an old fart who just complains about everything... 😂
