Challenges Faced by Young People Today
Young people today are often labeled as entitled and soft, facing criticism for their radical ideas about love, relationships, and mental health. Scott Galloway points out that the last few decades have been marked by a war on young people, with environmental degradation, political capture by corporate and older interests, wasteful wars, and a regression of rights and progress. The older generations have left the younger ones with a complex world, high costs of living, and a lack of retirement opportunities.
Responsibility of Parents Towards Future Generations
amidst the challenges faced by young people, parents are urged to create a better world for their children by sacrificing, setting them up for success, and not perpetuating the unfairness and frustration they have experienced. The concept of 'after me the flood' must be discarded in favor of responsible parenting, making tough choices, and instilling good values and character that benefit future generations. Upholding the stoic principle of justice involves doing the right thing even when the rewards may not be directly reaped by oneself.
