*WARNING: Major digression imminent*…We live in such a ignorant society as a whole. We thrive for success, but refuse (or fail, which is a simply another way of saying we refuse except with a smokescreen of excuses to cover our tracks) to work for it. We are a society of fast everything. Fast food, fast ordering, fast delivery, fast cars, fast appointments…fast fast fast. But then cry when the lightning speed at which we try to live our lives turns against us. Anyway, I digress from my digression. Back to human ignorance. One need only look at some of the ludicrous and audacious warning labels that have come as a direct result of idiots having access to our legal system. *WARNING: toilet water not safe for drinking* *Remove wrapper before eating* *Do NOT use hair dryer while showering* *Remove child from stroller before folding* *For indoor or outdoor use only* (guess this must just apply to astronauts then?). While many may be humorous, we should not forget how each lawsuit resulting in another new “warning” label or cautionary admonishment lends a helping hand in the further “dumbing” down of us as a species.

They don’t really understand how good they’ve got it. I always tell my students, “If you don’t like school, then drop out and get yourself a really bad job.” Nothing motivates a college student like a dose of reality.

The fact that there are kids “complaining” about the world that has been left them and what are they to do. As you said, “everyone has ALWAYS inherited prior issues”. And the thing that pisses me off more than anything else is a self-piteous attitude that is so visible in the younger generations.

Grow up. Pull up your own bootstraps and quit sitting around waiting for someone else to figure out your problem.
