Ladies and Gentleman... we have a problem. Its not Houston this time, oh but it iiiiis cosmic. I dont mean to sound like an all-knowing someone. I guess I am smart enough to know I am not pointing out problems noone pointed out before, but our generation has a big biig biiiiiig problem. (I just like letters of "i" today..)
We all think we will make it. We all think we are going to have the biggest house in the neighbourhood, a fancy car and a sporty one, a wife that is sexy after two kids, and that we are doing a job we love to the bottom. Something tells me (and that is about me being smart again), that it is not gonna happen to all of us. Simply because some of us have to become the guy that fixes fridges, while other will be cab drivers. Its time to realize that we cant all become firefighters and policemen.. that is reserved for a few lucky ones. Anyway, back to the point, this belief is origination from a pretty simple phenomena, just like most of human knowledge. We think this, because we were told so. There is going to be a time when this bubble has to blow up. We are not all supermodels and superheroes and ideal husbands on white horses. I am afraid that a time will come when our generation will have to face it. They cant all be firefighters. There is not enough fire. Even if there was, somebody has to be the guy who calls the firefighters, like a receptionist, so we need receptionists to have fully functioning society. We could switch roles every week so that everyone is happy... but than who is going to be the milkman. Ok, so we need "A", "B", and "C" weeks after all. Looks like I solved it...
We not only tend to believe that "we will make it", we also tend to believe that our friends and family will. Anyone whose brain is bigger than the brain of an ant (do they have any??), or is not french, must come to realize it. Some even believe that they will just win the lottery, well my friends, it is not likely, lets face it. So the question is, what is going to happen when we face a situation that we will not meet our dreams. There are billions of people that have gone through this, I am sure, but did their dreams adjust? Lowered in the light of reality, or simply they accepted their fate? Maybe found happiness elsewhere? I wish I could ask them "really". Probably they are not aware of the process themselves. Back to the original point, I think our generation was overpromised. We really BELIEVE. The time we have to face reality draws very near, and I am sure I will change the world. I am fine, I should not care, cause I will make it "no matter the weather". Two jobs, a sexy house, fulfilling kids, a sports wife and a fancy one. All that. But what of those that will not? Sound like pretty pretty biiig psychological disaster. On the other hand if this is an ongoing phenomena, than this is just business as usual.. maybe I should think about more important stuff than happiness and fulfilment.
