About This Quote

The older generation has the power to make decisions for the younger generation. This is the main reason people look at older people and say that they are wiser. However, this wisdom is not based on knowledge but more on experience. Older people tend to view the world in a different way than young people.

This can be dangerous because of their lack of understanding of the world today. They do not know what is happening in the world today and what is needed to be done to improve the situation. Young people on the other hand, are more aware of what is happening in the world and can come up with solutions to fix it.

The older generation often declares war on youth through their lack of understanding. They want youth to fight and die while they sit around and do nothing.
