Fear Americas Economic Downfall and Lifes Measured Risks

Fear Americas Economic Downfall and Lifes Measured Risks.

Fear is one of the most ruling factors of decision making today. It can be seen in my entire generation more then it has been in previous generations every day. Not fear of dictators and global war though those things are still there but a fear of action. Our great grandparents fought through the fear of starving in the depression where people where starving and dieing in the streets. Our  grandparents feared Hitlers world war one. Our parents survived the fear of the harsh parent structure they had to endure. We have three generations of be scared or you will fail, Die, be considered a screw up unworthy of the space we take up. We face being called lazy for being unwilling to take less money for a job our elders and parents are paid to do. Example a contractor needs to tarp a roof. They spend 30 minuites on the roof tarping it with someone usually from my generation helping. They bill it out to the people getting it done spend 50 bucks on supplys and 40 on gas pay the gentalman that helped 10 bucks for the hour because it takes that long to get to and from the location. He charges the company 200 bucks then complians that he should have done it him self and saved the money. 

Sounds normal in the business world but heres the real question. The employee made 10 bucks while you pocketed 100 what makes you worth 10 times more then the younger guy? More experience... your tarping a roof its not rocket science and the young guy new what he was doing as well as you and even if you where in charge all that means is you directed the task and said it had to be done.  Grant ill give you giving your self more then him but at least a third should still leave your pocket heavier. We just accept our 10 bucks happily and keep working on the next task not knowing what our labor is worth thinking we are doing good when we are getting screwed. When we do know we are to scared to speek up cause right to work laws state you dont have to have a reason to fire us we have a right to work but you have a right to fire us. We are the generation with the kids that need that extra money to clothe and feed and keep warm and in shelter. Well then go out and find a better job. We would love to but our parrents have all of them and are earning enough to go on vacations while we cant afford pizza. We worked hard a long time to earn that right. No you worked hard to retire... do so. Give our generation a chance we might impress you. Every sociaty needs a lower class someone has to make the burgers but why at 30 should anyone accept that as a option. If we accept that as an option we are still considered dirt cause we work fast food. We never move away from home cause you've fed us horror stories our whole life and we are to scared to jurney to find our selves. You had hippies and army brats hippies toured the country and moved to new states where they started lives. Army brats saw the world and decided to stay home or also moved. Why cause when you turned into an adult your parents raised you not to be to scared to take the wheel. You tought us that if we do we will inevitably screw up and fail as soon as try. We face legislature passed to protect kids that has become so tight that if a kid is about to run into a street and get hit by a car you can have your kids taken for a bruise on the arm you have to snatch them back by.

 I know this from personal experience.  We cant punish our kids out of fear of an over zelous usually over 40 person yelling abuse because of there personal flash backs. you had to walk to work 10 miles every day to care for us when money got tight. Do you forget we where there. Elders hitch hiked and caught rides with friends that or in the most desprate situation after you exausted all others including family if they where available then you walked and your performance suffered for it. Between the mass media and the constant hellfire life and death you painted the world to be theres nothing left for hope in the world. You told us we could be what we wanted then hobbeled us before we left the door.  

To my generation I have one thing to say you can do anything litterally anything. All you need to do is study and have confidence in your knowledge and ability to succeed. this is coming from someone your age that sold beer in the detroit tigers stadium, drove a semi, bialed pine straw, builds computers, studied history and art, Has been married to the same woman that gave birth to my three kids and is my first wife. Almost became missionary. Worked retail, ran my own business" though it didnt work out the point id this I did it I tried. I moved acrpss the country chasing my wife and back again. So long as your breathing you can find something to do worth doing. My advice dont be scared to mess up its normal dont be scared to chase those pipe dreams cause till you try you dont know and dont be scared to ask the price your worth. The older generation tells us that doing something is worth this much to them. Ask next time how much they would ask if they where getting paid for it. we cant move forward if we cant find some sence of equallity and growth and you never know what will happen unless you try. Hind sight is 20/20  but even they didnt know it would happen they are trying to teach you a lesson that doesnt exist its for love to keep you from going through there hell when there hell has been destroid by global communication. once we stop the condisending sence and start treating others reguardless of age as equalls we will know peice and the economy will repair. Till then so long as you can think you will be fine. Earn your keep but follow your dreams.
