a strong connection between older and younger generations is imperative
A nagging thought runs through my mind: many people lack a connection with nature. The desire to be outside, to see what exists there and to take the next step of trying to learn more about whatever they might see just doesn’t seem to exist for those people. But, a connection with nature helps us mentally, spiritually and to become better citizens–that is my opinion.
At the same time, it appears that it is increasingly difficult for older generations to make and keep connections with younger folks. Old geezers like me attribute several culprits to these changes—television, the internet, cell phones, drugs. Maybe there are more factors. We of the older generations need to accept much of the blame—for allowing youngsters to get immersed in these ever-present and consuming culprits. Maybe the blame needs to be shared.
