i think it is the difficulties in communicating with each other--probably being worlds apart in our thinking and conclusions.


especially with all the rapid changes in the last century and this. everything is moving so fast.
older people have life experiences--younger have many hopes for the future pf course and can resent interference from their parents or other older people.
tastes change all through our lives --------------i find that on a personal level i get on well with young people-----------but would love the opportunity to mix more with all generations.

it always brightens my day to observe young people out and about enjoying themselves---but i dislike bawdy behavior in public.

adult education classes were brilliant ways for generations to mix--but as the govt. is restricting so many of those it is hard for my generation to afford the costs of an amenity in which i could share with mixed ages and races,

one of my favourite evening classes was for drama therapy-- it was emotional but we grew as a really loving and caring group within that class.

i miss these classes because i cannot afford the high costs. yet lifetime learning helpskeep us alive and alert.

thank heaven for the U3A. UNIVERSITY OF THE THIRD AGE. where anyone over fifty can carry on socialising having fun whilst learning something new.
