Comment on Ask HN: How to Deal with a Conservative Family?parent

Comments

"You seem like you have it all figured out - that you know "things" that your family doesn't, or that you think that your family's life experiences are old and stale and not relevant in today's modern world. It's funny to see this for me, as a 42yo man. I was that way too when I was 14-24. I'm not being critical of you"

Compare this to a quote of Socrates from thousands of years ago :)

"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers."

It's always been like that and it's the only way our world keeps functioning, questioning current mindsets and disrupting existing boundaries.
