Hating the World is a Collective Form of Self-Mockery

What’s caused this deterioration in this current generation of kids, I wonder??? From the Front Page Sections, translated…

Over twenty years ago, the writer from the seventies, Wu took his first part-time job in college, working as a security at a building, in charge of overseeing who comes and goes in and out, receiving and putting the mail in the mailboxes of the local residents, he received $28,000N.T. monthly; but awhile ago, a college graduate from a namely university told him, that he’d worked for two years, at a franchise, and brought in the same amount. Comparing to the past, Wu described it as, “nothing more, than a horror story”.

Wu gave the lecture on “Generation” for the “Engineering of Dreams-the Forum for the Citizens”. Since 2016, he’d interviewed over 40 members of the younger generations, to collect the stories on facts of how the younger generations are, living below the poverty lines, and published the findings in his work, “The Hated Generations” last year.

Wu said, the youths’ talking of “hating life” wasn’t about how they’re all, suicidal, but of their collective feel of the low wages, being overworked, and the long hours of work.

“The younger generations can no longer feel the era where money is everywhere in Taiwan”. Wu said, that the 50’s, “Working Hard, and it’ll, Pay Off”, to the sixties, “My Future is NOT a Dream”, to the eighties, “There’s No Party Anywhere”.

Wu hoped, that through the reports of the true cases, it’ll help instill that sense of empathy in the younger generations, that was what made him write his book, “Through understanding the generations, then, we’ll be able to, fully, resolve the issues of the younger generations in Taiwan.”

Yeah uh, that just shows, how one generation is worse, than the previous, and, that’s just no good, because, as a society, we’re, deteriorating, and, it’s still NOT up to the individual few who’d realized this, and start making changes in themselves, the entire society MUST see this as a huge problem, then, collective, work to solve it, otherwise, the poor are getting poorer, and they keep on whining about how the world ain’t fair, blah, blah, blah…
