would you prefer they didn't have it easy? maybe had to walk for 5 hours through a minefield to get water everyday?
of course they have it easier, that was the aim, to better society. our parents had it marginally better than our grandparents (ie: no ww1 / ww2 although the post war depression and then the korean and vietnam wars certainly added a wrinkle to the joy of living for them). and we had it massively better than our parents. and hopefully the trend will keep that way. the thing is to work out how to instil real values and morals when people have so much more spare time to think about 'me' in a relative vacuum. it was hard for our grandparents to think about themselves too much while down a coal mine for 18 hours a day, 7 days a week.
tis a generational laziness to say this like it's remotely profound or new.
i'm probably wrong.
