I remember a whole slew of articles around the turn of the 90s where former button-down suit types were re-evaluating "the meaning of life" etc. <br /><br />While I applaud this arguably "fashionable" return of empathy to the citizens of NYC, narcissism will be alive and well. The youth may be raised with a better sense of empathy, but the current crop of "Millenials," like their spoiled "Me Generation" parents before them, will continue to play out their sense of generational self importance to the grave. And by their shear numbers, we'll be forced to hear about their journey through maturity. (And yes, I'm a Gen Xer, and I felt we were robbed. Coincidentally the kids graduating high school and college are feeling the same way.)<br /><br />The more things change, the more things stay the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-69231092238058133612009-04-24T11:12:00.000-04:002009-04-24T11:12:00.000-04:00Excellent post, Jeremiah.
