Today somebody said
It's funny. Wasn't the '70's the "me" decade? No wait, wasn't it the eighties? Yeah, that was it. The decade of a failed attempt at a hedonistic life by making new rules and turning inward instead of outward. Basically, a selfish "me" mode of being, saying, "I can do anything that feels good or makes ME feel happy." <cynical>At least in the sixties they tried to get everyone to join in the love. In the eighties it was every man for himself.</cynical>
Why don't people get it? It's not an isolated incident. It's not about them. It's not any different now. You are doing the same thing they used to do, and it's no better or worse now than it ever was. You all want the same things.
I get tired of hearing the same old protest songs and chants. It's like they never grew up out of the 60s, and hold that decade as some sort of cherished era, when in reality, it was and remains to this day -- a failed attempt for some kind of idealistic life by breaking rules and turning inward instead of outward. Basically a selfish "me" mode of being saying "I can do anything that feels good or makes ME feel happy."
