Pathetic

Sometimes I'll come across the blogs and rants of 'young' people and can't help but laugh. And by laugh, I mean, let out a sarcastic, kind of eye rolling acknowledgment of their cluelessness. Their belief that they know what life is really about and that they have even the slightest clue as to what they're doing is downright pathetic and laughable. So yes, this is a rant of my own. I just wish that this young generation had a real, solid idea about life. I wish that they understood, really understood, that the decisions that they make today can and will affect their futures. That if they don't have a plan about where they want to end up or what they want to do, nobody else will have one for them; that their lack of a plan will promptly dump them somewhere in the middle of loserville, halfway to nowhere-land. I wish that I could shake some sense into them. I wish that they didn't act like they know everything when you're trying to impart some small bits of 'hey, I've been there, you should take my advice' nuggets of wisdom. When did everyone between the ages of 18-20 get such a huge chip on their lazy, never have worked, waiting-to-be-handed-my-future-on-a-silver-platter, shoulders? That's what I'd really like to know. Because one thing I know for sure, is that nobody can want something for you more than you want it for yourself. And if you're not willing to work for it then you may as well resign yourself to your minimum wage Walmart job and be done with it.


Ugh. Ok, I'm done. I just needed to write some things down and now I'm done. No explanations, no expanding. That's it.
