When the past doesn’t gua­ran­tee the future.

This is the twelfth in a series of posts reflec­ting on the impor­tance of our actions and what we do to contri­bute to some­thing, and ideal­ly, some­thing grea­ter. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

I recent­ly had an exchange with most­ly young people, main­ly from Gene­ra­tion Z, and I can confirm that they’re wor­ried about the future. But what gene­ra­tion wasn’t? I would say that this gene­ra­tion has the anxie­ty of pre­vious gene­ra­tions on its shoul­ders. It’s clear that for gene­ra­tions X and Y, the future is just as uncer­tain and their future depends on the pre­vious gene­ra­tion. I would say that it is main­ly the anxie­ty of Gene­ra­tion X. Gen X’s fear of aban­don­ment has never been so strong, aban­do­ned by the boo­mers, and this situa­tion is echoed by Gene­ra­tion Z, who have the power to break the inter­ge­ne­ra­tio­nal contract. Boo­mers and Gen-Xers, trap­ped in their toxic rela­tion­ship, side­li­ned by a gene­ra­tion that rejects this poi­son with no remorse. Final­ly, Gene­ra­tion Y has the power to cata­lyze this move­ment in order to offer future gene­ra­tions a more than per­fect world, a world that is enti­re­ly theirs.

If we go back a bit, this anxie­ty is the source, in my opi­nion, of hyper-move­ment. Far from being a cure, hyper-move­ment is rather a drug, a demons­tra­tion of a generation’s inabi­li­ty to deal with its own demons, pre­fer­ring ins­tead to put its mind to sleep so as not to think about it. Quite sad.
