“Young people nowadays….”
“What about them?”
“They are ignorant, irresponsible.”
“Young people tend to be bold and brave.”
“Nah, they are wimps, weak. They can’t handle any interference. They just get frustrated.”
“Like you do? When they upgrade the system?”
“Hmm….”
“They’ll get old enough to critique the next generation. We seem to keep that tradition, though nothing else stays the same. Think of them as Monet…, no, Banksy, dear.”
For Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers – week of July 11, 2017 and The Daily Post’s daily prompt, Grit .
What does nelkumi think? 
Young people get grief every generation. They are young, and foolish, and want to know the answers to questions we stopped thinking about years ago. God bless them — and keep them alive to teach the next generation of young people.

Today’s young people are tomorrow’s old people. It’s the journey they undertake and the guidance they get during it that will define them . Beautifully written, Nelkumi. Cheers, Varad
