One thing I have noticed is that back in the 70's (in my experience) most children did what most children did. Most (the middle class) had what each other had and could relate. In some ways there wasn't as much catalyst for seeking (now for me the 80s provided drugs and such) Where my children were taught to say No to drugs. Compared to the children of today so much has changed with the internet and the fast instant flow of "choices". And there are so many choices they are given. So I agree on many levels that it may be harder for some youth now to see, but perhaps easier in some respects. From Hippies to New Agers to those in the Eco/Green movements...it is all the same thrust toward seeking.
But I do agree that the awakening process is difficult no matter what age.
And how can you disagree with how much harder it is to teach an old dog new tricks? Or unlearn old tricks?
