Generation Gap

Generation gap is a well known topic  which everybody is aware of. There is nothing mysterious about it because it is a natural thing. So, why am I reflecting upon it? Well, the fact is that, although all human beings must accept that their children - once they become adults - see the world in a totally different way, it is a bit sad to realize how big such gap can become. Parents and their offspring may grow so far apart that - although affection still exists between them - they are turned into virtual strangers. There is very little sharing because the young generation feels the need to affirm its total independence, does not want to be bothered by situations that do not concern them directly any more, loathe the idea of being told anything that might sound like advice or, worse, criticism. So, parents and children love each other ... while living on different galaxies.
