“When did we get so fickled and sensitive?” asked my 60-year-old uncle. “People used to be tougher and not cry every time they didn’t get their way”. I threw the question right back at him. “Why are you so fickled towards this generation?” He started to ignore that and gave me a lengthy epic about how he and the family used to struggle just to do the bare necessities. He mentioned he had to cross rivers and mountains to get to school—a 15-20 mile trip every day. The boasting of previous generations seemed apparent in his eyes.
