In modern times, the young generation meet up and talk a lot, laugh hard but it’s empty in their hearts, emotionless. They don’t know they are humans.

Sounds like you've reached the "Get out of my yard!!" stage of your life. Let the kids be kids. Life is short...why build a house?

When you speak such of this entire generation, you are speaking of my children. My experience has been that they might be MORE aware of their humanity than prior generations. Their intrerconnectedness globally has them much more aware of issues that cross boundaries, and each individual's impact on the planet. My kids, in particular, seem to better own their shortcomings and social awkwardness than generations prior (invluding mine).
Yes, there are good and bad examples on any given day within each generation. Try looking for the positive now and then. You might be pleasantly surprised or even be given hope. The youth are weaker at some things and more gifted at others, including some emerging skill sets that might play out in big ways. Time will tell.

My experience with college age people is that they are thoughtful and kind for the most part. I have gotten to know many who are really good people and definitely know that they are humans. Perhaps your opinion comes from what you offer them.

Or don't....
You know that the heart is just a muscle to pump blood, right? Do you interact with them or offer anything other than shortsighted, baseless criticism. Your generalization of an entire generation of human being is absurd.
What makes you think that your views on the meaning of being human is valid and what you assume theirs is is not.

@Donotbelieve I know. I usually just overlook his post, but I couldn't resist again.
JimG:
@Donotbelieve I can resist anything, except temptation.
on what basis do you make this assertion? i have not found this to be so at all. furthermore, how can you generalize about an entire generation (one you do not actually specify apart from labeling it "young" -- which to me is anyone under 60)? people are not all alike based on their age.

JimG:
Are you trying to interject some honesty into this discussion. The OP is not concerned with that.
My response to you was meant as a tongue-in-cheek criticism while directing more sincere criticism elsewhere.It's all due to the obsession with social networking. We've sacrificed human interaction for an interesting action-at-a-distance principle. Namely, we are more connected electronically than ever, but true, real interactions are becoming harder to find....

Every generation seems to have that same complaint. I haven't, in my 57 years, seen human nature change THAT much.

Agreed. I don’t agree with the posters perception but I understand what he’s getting at. Regardless I agree with you. It’s a cyclical problem that fixes itself with maturity and wisdom.
