Oxymoron Generation


My generation tends to send mixed signals to the world.

 On one hand, we can be stunningly stupid. We can forget the name of our president, be obsessed with vain self-publicity, waste away our lives on video games and television, procrastinate like nobody’s business, and get into petty drama until the whole world just wants to kill us all.

 On the other hand, we have potential. Crazy potential. I truly believe that. I look around and I see fellow teens who do crazy big things. We are the generation that’s craving action filled compassion, that’s starting business and blogs, capturing our world through snaps of the camera. We are starting to engage our potential – a dangerous thing to those who want to stay complacent.

 We are an oxymoron generation and it’s up to us what side will be dominant. Will we stay apathetic sloths? Or shall we rise to this momentous occasion called “life”?
