OK, yes I realize he’s totally INSANE… but I do think the world is spinning out of control!! :D HOWEVER, I also think that people probably felt the same way in the 50’s when girls started wearing 2 piece bathing suits and kids started listening to “rock & roll”.

I have had these fears for awhile – but one thing that sort of eases them is thinking about how our generations are cycling through different types of people and although it looks one way now, things are evolving and our world will most likely keeping moving forward with amazing new achievements in technology, science and intellectual/emotional awareness.

I got this book called Generations: The History of America’s Future awhile back, and the theory in it is that each generation belongs to one of four types, and that these types repeat sequentially in a fixed pattern.

To give you a better idea of the 4 types, here’s someone’s comments posted about the book that sum it up well:

“The generations are of 4 types. A prophet generation is born in a civilization high of springtime. They are inwardly focused on spiritual values. They rebel in youth, but become morally authoritarian in old age during a crisis. A nomad generation is born in a summer of consciousness revolution and aren’t raised very well since their elder parents are more focused on themselves than their children. This generation is considered a lost or bad generation in which crime and immorality increase with its rising. A hero generation is born in the fall of an unraveling; they become the heroes during a crisis when they are young adults. An artist generation is born during a crisis; they are a meek and mild generation who are sensitive to other’s needs and are indecisive as leaders.”

Anyway – kinda gives me hope in terms of our next generation. Have faith in the children of today!

Procreating on the other hand, as much as I think it will be the most amazing and miraculous experience, scares the shit out of me.
