Take a Chill Pill: It's Not the End of the World
It seems like everywhere I look, I see people declaring that the world is getting worse and worse by the second. Death and famine across the globe, greedy men exploiting the poor, and other such travesties. Why, just look at this quote I found about today’s young people:
"Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers."
Now, who do you think said that? The president? The pope? Some big wig with an over-inflated sense of self-worth who runs a national organization? Actually, that quotation is attributed to Socrates in the fourth century B.C. Funny how one might assume it’s about our modern kids.
