This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

Talking About My Generation - Stuck

May 1995
Jonathan is 15

Perhaps Dr. Jack Kevorkian does have the right to assist people in suicide. Perhaps he should be allowed to help them end their lives.
Perhaps.
But if Dr. Kevorkian has the right to assist suicide, then perhaps suicide should be a legalized act. In fact, if there are going to be no laws against suicide, then perhaps there's nothing wrong with committing suicide.
Perhaps.
But if there's no reason to say that suicide's wrong, perhaps then we should all end our lives at a time and place we choose.
Perhaps.

Perhaps society needs to take a good long look at itself. The upcoming generation sees and hears certain messages. Respect yourself and others. Violence is not the answer. Suicide is selfish, it harms many people besides you. Don't do drugs - Just say no!

The upcoming generation also sees and hears other messages. Divorce is okay. Legalize marijuana. Private owners of guns should be allowed to carry their own weapons concealed for protection.

Perhaps you can see that there is a lot of difference between these two sides. In fact, they are almost opposites. And society sees the result. Generation X. The generation that doesn't stand for anything. The reason... we don't know what to stand for. Many Xers have made it into the real world and have formed their own opinions about the world. However, Xers and the generation coming behind us are still being bombarded with these complete opposites and that has left many of us with only one place to stand; in the middle.
