#babyboomer. This is used as an insult more commonly these days and it initially confused me so I drilled into it. One reason given for the insult is that we have squandered the earths opportunities and damaged the environment and wrecked the job market but we are just people trying to get along.
I think that the second reason is that we are at an age where we have lost inhibitions. We don’t care what people think of us so much. We have lived for 6 decades and we think that we have acquired wisdom and we are not shy about sharing it. Patronising is a word that comes to mind. It’s a condition that’s obviously been around for Millenia since that word is so old. #imguiltyourhonour
In the 90s I watched my father suffer through brain tumours and wondered at his lack of filter that they caused. Ive been to the doctors myself to check for a brain tumour since I find myself talking without those same filters. It’s behaviour.
I hope that this makes sense.
