Were The “Good Old days” That Good?

   Constantly as young people in this generation, we hear older people talk about how we‘re the worse generation yet, and it’s only getting worse. God is coming soon Christians would say this is all coming to an end soon. But people have been saying this for the last decade.
          Many of the people in my generation learn to hate their own generation like everyone else. However, the question I pose is were the “good old days” that good? I think the answer is no. There is an inevitable layer of corruption that won’t leave, it is the curse of the human race.
          From 1800s to 1920 Syphilis was as common as allergies and it infected and killed many. Everyone used to smoke cigarettes unaware of the health repercussions. Child labor used to be legal, alcohol was tearing families apart. There where times when black people had no rights, women  had no rights and lets not forget about the holocaust. Even all the way back to the witch trials when un-favored people in town were accused of witchcraft and hung.

          If you  don’t understand what im saying  look back at each generation and you won’t find one where some serious stuff  wasn’t going down. Our children are plugged up to computers etc and gas isn’t a nickel anymore. Corruption will be here to stay love it embrace it, and even hate it at the same time.
