Those who are in the know have tried to characterize human beings based on the generation to which we belong. Those who were teenagers in the 1960's were known as the Boomers ... more recently we have heard tell of the GenX'ers, of those who belong to Generation Y, those who are part of the Internet Generation ... etc.
Enter the most recent characterization ... those who belong to a Lost Generation. With the abundance of physical posessions which has become the norm in many people's lives, the reality is that there is a deeper thirst, for a spiritual dimention to life ... for answers to the questions of who am I, how will I make a difference, and even a renewed awareness of a call to serve, as evidenced in this week's day of service to the less fortunate, spearheaded by the yet-to-be inaugurated President of the United States of America.
Young people in today's society, who may be characterized by some as members of the Lost Generation, can choose to make a difference, must choose to believe that they can make a difference. This was made crystal clear by a recently discovered reflection posted on the YouTube site.
Will you make a difference? It's all a matter of perception.
