Dog bite

The mind of a Gen Y goldfish has been trained not to notice much.

By way of example, the young French girl in the local cafe.

After she makes a coffee she had no idea who ordered it even though she took the order.

She will happily get distracted with some non-time critical activity even though there are customers waiting.

When prompted to serve an exasperated customer she shows no remorse or recognition of the customer’s feelings.

The idea of letting this customer know how long my slice of quiche may take to get packaged is well beyond her.

I believe this lack of awareness results from being brought up in a totally safe environment.

We of other generations were brought up with more anxiety.

We needed to watch and observe our environments in order to predict when issues were coming up.

It might have been the bad mood of a mother or a potential bite from a neighborhood dog.

Danger was lurking everywhere and we watched and simulated scenarios without realizing what we were doing.

Until this process became second nature.

So you see, it’s not just the overuse of antibiotics that has compromised a good slab of a whole generation.
