Age does makes impact on what you think and what kind of perception you carry. This is something I am observing among all my friend and in me as well. "We were not like this" this statement we always tend to make when we see/observe these younger generation now a days.
We are very reluctant to imbibe the changes taking place around us. We have made some kind of comfort zone around us from which we don't want to come out, and I am damn sure the our parental generation must have felt the same at particular point of time and this younger generation will also think in a same way when they will be of our age.
Let us take a example, marriage. The hot topic of discussion every where ( extremely age specific statement). Now me and my friends are so bombarded by our parents that at any point of time we will be getting married. This has to do with what each and every generation and there views about the same. Our parental generation thinks that marriage is extremely important in life. This has to be done at particular age, once you pass that age, you are gone, carrier and all comes later. You can manage that easily.
Now our generation feels that carrier is priority. You earn and then do marriage and all. Marriage is just a process and can be completed at any point of time. It has nothing to do with age, If you have enough bank balance , you can manage.
One generation says it has science behind it. other says why to get married there is no science behind it. one generation says get married have child and let you parents enjoy there last innings. Other says why to have own child and even to have what is the need of getting married. One generation says if you get married at particular age and have your own child at certain age, it will be easy to plan the things. Other questions "What you got after doing all this?, you are still struggling to get money".
This is not only generation gap due to age. This is a gap between two different mentalities, two different ideologies. Which can be change if they can accept the change in world around them. Parental generation is not keen to accept that priorities and worries of this current generation are different. On other side our generation is not ready to accept that getting married at right age is important because you will have somebody. a better half of your life with you, who has same mentality, priority (may be) like yours. Nobody is ready to understand. All listen to each other to react on it rather to understand.
Lets us conclude........Can we?
