It is amazing to see how keenly Jesus saw the matter two thousand years ago which bothers us today. This tension between the old and the new has perpetuated itself through centuries and become a cause of great pangs in our time. When we were young, we didn't do such things. They take us for granted. They expect us to live in exactly the same way they did thirty or forty years ago.
Some adults are very thoughtful and understanding.
Here are two illustrations of the tension and difference between the old and the new generations. One of them snaps open his jackknife and sticks it into a tire of the car. This is a game where one driver tries to remain in the car, running closer to a cliff than his competitor. In this particular game of chicken, one boy gets out of his car all right. After another moment of running towards the cliff, he thinks it is the right time for him to pop out of the car.
