I'm 45, and I recognize although I do a ton of /out/ stuff and work on the family farm, that I'm soft compared to my parents and grandparents. I'm fucking spoiled - I've never had to worry about where my next meal was coming from or whether I literally might have to watch half my kids starve or die of what is now a completely preventable illness.
I try to live by their example, but to say I'm not soft compared to them ignores the fact that it isn't just some character flaw, they were actually in far, far more situations that required "suck it up or suffer" than I've ever had to - and you have almost certainly had even fewer of those. The most recent generation views the most minor of inconvenience with more outrage than my grandparents viewed losing half their family to starvation and choking during the Dust Bowl, or enduring the Depression and having no idea when it would in, or seeing their male children and younger brothers all sent off to war and only half of them ever coming back.
If you HAVE been raised with any sort of adversity, I suggest you try raising a teen or twenty-something today who has a literal public meltdown because the wifi is down for 15 minutes, or someone hurt their feelings with a "microagression."
(By the way, here's something to bitch about, millennial style - why the fuck does 4chan make us do up to 4 captchas? Yes, it's a fucking street sign, and I clicked it, assholes.)
