obviously a lot of different opinions and perspectives, and they go really from one extreme to another extreme. Where some you know, love to slander our generation as the generation of spoiled narcissistic young men and women who think that they're entitled, and they don't know how to uh you know, stay the course. They don't even know the meaning of resilience. The moment they have a headache or they have a heartache, you know, they quit. And a lot of people lament, you know, this generation for being so devoid of the values and the courage and the strength and the fortitude that have characterized our parents and great grandparents. So many of them who have had lives so much more difficult, so much more miserable, suffered so much both in terms of the loss and the tragedies and torture and whether they came from Russia or they went through the Holocaust, whatever it is. And yet, so many of them, you know, continued with pride and dignity. And today, it seems that for so much less suffering, people just throw in the towel. So, a lot of, you know, there is that perspective. Um And I'm I'm certainly no prophet to be able to know exactly, you know, the exact explanation, exact insight.
