Young Apathy

It kills me. How boring life must be.

From Dictionary.com \Ap"a*thy\, n.; pl. Apathies. [L. apathia, Gr. ?; 'a priv. + ?, fr. ?, ?, to suffer: cf. F. apathie. See Pathos.] Want of feeling; privation of passion, emotion, or excitement; dispassion; -- applied either to the body or the mind. As applied to the mind, it is a calmness, indolence, or state of indifference, incapable of being ruffled or roused to active interest or exertion by pleasure, pain, or passion.

The young 'uns just don't care about anything. They aren't interested in anything, don't want to do anything, has no interest in hobbies, sports, acedemics, outdoors, politics, the planet, indoor activities, outdoor activities, health, family or anything of the like. They don't want to work but want to get paid - and paid a LOT of money. They don't want to go to school and work for a degree yet they want a $100k job. They want to hang out, they want to drink and get stoned, but they also want lots of stuff - which costs money which they have to earn yet don't want to work for.

The issue here is all the parents of the 80's gave their kids all the things they didn't have - and now these kids are spoiled beyond belief. Why should they move out? Why do they need a job when Mom and Dad give them everything and more!

This isn't new - it's always existed, but at least earlier generations at least were involved. They liked cars, were involved with their school sports or after school functions. When I was going to school in the 80's and 90's kids were still involved - they liked to do things. They saw value in being involved. Not so any more. They sit around the house, get in trouble, complain and whine constantly about how they wants stuff but want someone to give it to them.

Wake up. Real life isn't Mom and Dad giving you everything. No one will pay you $100k to do nothing. Face it, your a lazy putz. Get off your ass and get to work. Don't like ANYTHING and don't want to DO ANYTHING? You're going to have a hard life pal.
