A young women who had lost her way, unaware as to how she could help herself. I saw her as part of what I term as the 'Unprepared Generation'. Our kids appear to have everything that modern technology is providing. In every magazine they read, in every advert. with which they are confronted, they are shown the perfection of this easy life we all can lead. We can have the perfect figure if we do this or that, the perfect wedding is glamorously portrayed, the home is easily acquired with minimum payments, as with the furniture and the necessary equipment to make the household chores a dream, not to mention the two cars, the boat, the vacation, and whatever else makes its appeal.
Life is a dream when so portrayed.
We parents cannot be blamed for being a little envious of all these conveniences that were not so readily available to us. We can become a little impatient when we hear a grumble from our youngsters, perhaps, under these circumstances, not surprisingly. We must, however, ask ourselves whether we have prepared our sons and daughters for today's circumstances. We should be the wise ones. Or could it be that unsuspecting, we ourselves have fallen into the traps and are floundering too, unable to assist this present Unprepared Generation.
