It is almost a tradition that those of us who are older, and believe
ourselves wiser, will criticize the young for there whiny inability to meet
our standards. This is true among blind generations just like everywhere
else. In fact, at one time we were the whiny kids and young adults who could
not measure up to the standards of those who had grown old, rigid, and
unable to remember what it was like to be young and finding our way.

You and I are probably of the same generation with more or less the same
experiences.
We today really have it very good. Many of the younger blind, who did not
go through what we did and experience, I sometimes believe don't necessarily
understand and appreciate just how much things have changed and what
technology has enabled them to do.
I see this phenomenon in greater and greater demands and expectations
complaining about the smallest of things that just don't work quite right or
are unusable in their estimation.
Yes, this has always been the case and will remain so.
But we, thanks to technological
innovation have so much at our disposal that truly there should be little
grumbling.
Sure, there could be more; but oh yes, there was also so much less just a
few short years ago.
As we search the Scriptures, we must allow them to search us, to sit in
judgment upon our character and conduct.
