It's all "downhill" from birth! :-) We move towards obsolescence in our final years- not only our bodies but our ideas/views can be trapped- a disconnect might be a better way of expressing this idea. Ancient writers complained of youth's behavior in their time so I do think there is a generational struggle that has to be considered- or ignored. And there is constant upgrading and inventing to accomodate.
The speed and wide scope of information sharing is a new reality. How do the opinions of others affect one's truth? Are there absolute truths in the soft areas of knowledge- like politics, religion and the arts? Yet there are some truths that survive regarding human behavior- so I do think there is a universality we can relate to despite the obvious differences. We really have a short life span to experience and be open to all possibilities. We are forced to pick and choose.
