The New Zero
If 40 is the new 30 and 30 is the new 20 and so on, is 10 now the new zero?
I can’t help but notice that coinciding with the ongoing movement that tramples on the fear of aging is the growing nominalism of being young. The demographic that is supposed to fun, fearless and conquering the world, we must admit, is a little bit more passive these days. Thanks to Facebook and Twitter, has our age group become content with making a difference by simply answering the question ‘What’s on your mind?’
It shouldn’t be a trade-off. If the more mature are getting re-empowered, we the young should match their enthusiasm, right? If the forty-somethings have reason to still push forward, then all the more we twenty-somethings, correct? But I’m not sure if this is happening.
Yes,it’s never too late, but it’s never too early either.
