acutally. my life is plus minus untouched of vietnam and generation 68, my parents having had no interest and no part in all this noise whatsoever. my mother is still a skirt and perl necklace kind of person (in her values if not in her dresscode) my father the complemental other side of the medal
politics, science, education it is said have been changed considerably by all this - or this is what people claim and i have no way of claiming otherwise, after all:
what do i know about what would have been or what was before ( i do know bits and pieces of facts as we all do but i believe i miss the overall picture as many do)
but i do agree that ours is a time of change ( i am not sure if there have been times of stability though i suppose there have. some ´have been called dictatorship)
and times of change do as a rule imply that focus and measures of evaluation change as well.
i personally, today, think that sucks.
i used to think different, but have become a grumpy old girl myself. |
