We are the post-war baby boomer generation and among us we can find many of them. Most of us share the same value, went through the similar experiences, have the same belief, surrounded by our younger generations, repeated the same stories due to our short-memories, and have similar health issues. But we are resilient and we don’t give up easily.
This piece is about our generation and I covered the 18 years from the year that this generation started. We have to admit that those were the most significant years. When I heard on the radio about the assassination of President John F Kennedy, I was a teenager by then. And later when I heard the first man landing on the Moon, it was in 1969 already, I was twenty years old already and I can still recall the impact it brought on me.
What is remaining for this generation to achieve is perhaps very little. We have to live with our younger generations and for a change we have to be the backdrop and blend in with the bigger picture now.
