After visiting Washington D.C. I came away with an entirely different perspective and yet more generational differences. Why do people act the way they do? Everyone seems to have an opinion. Just ask a psychologist, they’ll rattle off some bullshit answer using big words trying to explain the functions of the brain. Sociologists will say its some deep desire that causes these urges or commonalities, either one, to surface. I think it is something more than that, something that cannot be quantified into words or explanations. I believe we ourselves do not know exactly what it is we are striving for all the time, we just do it. It happens so quickly that we do not have time to think, we just react. Whatever it is, there is a substantial difference between that of my generation and that of the previous generation, specifically those I met in Washington D.C. My generation, will see a problem, bitch about it, wait for someone else to do something about it, and then bitch about it more. The generation I met in Washington D.C. are the best of what was a self sufficient generation in that they could function without somebody holding their hands. It was incredible seeing the best of these people at work. The influence it had on my life was definitely a positive one that I hope to take with me on my life's journey.
