In any group no one can ignore diplomacy.
Incidentally, diplomatic silence is a sign of maturity and not resorting to emotional rants bordering on personal hurt/attack ( age does not matter at all as everyone needs to be treated with respect- what advantages elders may have in experience youth may have in enhanced learning, greater exposure to new opportunities, sometimes even better understanding due to looking things from different, various or differing perspectives, emphasizing more on analyses, logic etc.).
It is naïve to expect endorsement of or seek appreciation of any/every view of anyone by anyone else much less everyone else.
To criticize, to analyze, to evaluate and to interpret anything no one needs to perform in or to practice that field.
There is no point in engaging in ego fest based on any complexes in a group.
Everything must be taken in light spirit and with a sense of humor.
Parental concern and love can knock off all boundaries but good parents are those who are extremely tolerant and have the wisdom to observe silently the eccentricities, excellences and exhibition of talents, troubles and tantrums all with extreme equanimity.
We need to acknowledge and to feel proud that the younger generation do think far far in depth, view and analyze anything from various perspectives, they are more PRACTICAL, ANALYTICAL & LOGICAL and may be less emotional or selectively emotional ( which again is justifiable). So, it is normal and expected of them to brush aside very casually anything they find has a huge load of irrelevant bias, excess emotional affinity, exaggerated opinions, hero worship etc.
We learn more through observation. If we observe the younger generation in slightly educated upbringing and environment do not like to subscribe to many of the things that the older generation wants or expects them to do that most out of sheer respect decide to escape ( from the nation, the religious rituals, petty prejudiced - jaundiced views of life based on orthodoxy etc.) or resort to indifference if they cannot escape.
As life is too competitive and careers becoming tougher for the younger generation that they need to address primarily the SURVIVAL aspect of life before they can relish the LIVING aspect of life.
We must become mature enough to acknowledge the views, comments of the younger generation without getting emotional and we need not agree with them.
