WE ALL HAVE TO LEARN

No person is born with knowledge greater than their experience of life. We can be well educated but we still have to learn from life's experiences and at any age we all think we have the answer to every problem which makes listening to our elders something that we do not normally do. To think that the answer to a problem is simple is a big mistake and it is one we often make especially when dealing with our younger citizens. Accepting this experience gap would go a long way towards improving our relationship with them. They think that they can deal with any situation because they have all the answers, we ( the elders ) think that they(the young ones) should listen to us and do as we tell them. If this were to happen we would still be at the Neanderthal stage of our development because no progress would have happened beyond the knowledge of the elders. Even now we still have a conflict of ideals caused by the youth accepting the Internet and the elders hating it, especially the Labour party, It was generally decided that jobs would go because of computers therefore no union members should be allowed to have any dealings with them, what was not foretold was the number of jobs computers would create and because of this lack of foresight a lot of the available jobs in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY are overseas in Asia. I can forgive the youth of today for thinking that we have let them down, WE HAVE !!!

We have put our planet at risk by our greed and deprived young people in this country of jobs because of our short sighted ideas and our resistance to progress. WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED !!! There is no wonder they take no notice of us, WE ARE DUMB.
