I think we're all so used to the hardships that we deal with on a daily basis as a society that we normalize them. What that causes is for them to seem not as bad as someone who doesn't find them to be normal might see them as. So, the kids find the bad things they go through to be bad but also just a part of their ordinary lives and hence managable, and what the 90 year olds have gone through to be unknown and terrible. And vise versa. Personally, I still believe life is, as a whole, easier today than it was 90 years ago, but there are different problems now.

Okay can we have more of this kind of talks nowadays?! It feels so uplifting, enlightening and heartwarming, even as an adult, to watch elders and children getting to discuss about deep things of life like this. 2 age groups that we should listen to and learn from way more than we actually do...

If you stay out of social media and venture the world and appreciate nature and the simple things than you’d be much happier. You start to appreciate people even more especially those who are always with you.

[@legoshirocha]

@Logan Paul my point is that you need to know how and when to use it. If you’re using social media just to gossip, take pictures of you looking for validation, etc. all of the wrong reasons then you’ll be pretty much unhappy. If you use it to communicate with family, a dear friend, work, etc then I don’t see the problem. Social media is like a double edge sword. It can be beautiful and yet can be dangerous and a loop of constant depression. I talked to this because of self experience.

I really love and respect that Gwen said she thinks kids today have it rough. We are so used to hearing "kids these days are so lazy and soft and have it so easy."
