Explain to your children and grandchildren that genuine joy and freedom once flourished, and that it can do so again. Make 'em understand that nobody likes a whiner
When I was in high school, kids divided themselves into different cliques: jocks, nerds, pretty girls, preppies, hipsters, druggies, straights etc. Yet despite those differences, I was lucky enough to have classmates who mostly got along. The exception? The downheads. Kids for whom life was something to whine about incessantly. So incessantly all you wanted to do was avoid them like smallpox. So where are those kids today?
