My 20 year son today was sitting beside me when he me asked me about his Future in this New Age of the Virus.
I had to say him, that I have no idea what to expect.
I was 4 years old in 1960 & by the time I was 16 in 1972 had witnessed the assassinations of JFK, RFK & MLK, not to mention Detroit & Newark burning down & the Vietnam war
I was instructed in 1963 by my Nuns how to shelter in place & where the Nuclear shelters were when the Bomb dropped, which seemed inevitable according to them.
So, after leaving behind that Decade of Pure Shite, I figured things couldn't get much worse, and then, low & behold, Trump & COVID-19 entered the picture.
It's going to be at a minimum 12 months before a vaccine is developed & until then life is stopped & there's no way out of that.
Point being is that I pity my son existing in this Modern World of Climate Change & the Corona Virus.
I thought I had it bad in 1965 with the Racial strife, wars, assassinations but that really seems quite quant now in comparison to today where the entire Planet is facing cataclysmic events.
I can't give him any more advice besides saying just carry on, things will get better.
Why do I feel like I'm lying too him?
That emotion really, really sucks.
