Lost in time

Every period in our past has been given a name to distinguish it in history from the rest of time.

We've had the Dark Ages, the Middle Ages, the Industrial Revolution, the First and Second World Wars, the Sixties, the Yuppies Generation and so on.

I wonder what they will call this generation in years to come?

The Enlightened Generation when people saw things differently and tried to solve their worldly problems.

Or the Stupid Generation when they visualised imagined problems and lost focus on what really matters?

Or the Entitled Generation when people believed they were owed everything as of right instead of working hard and striving for it?

Or is it the Divided Generation when people disagreed between the haves and the have-nots, the old and the young, the countries they are in, their race, religion, background and so on; divided in every respect with no prospect of common ground?

Or is this the Unbelieving Generation, the Secular One, the Generation which has asked God to step aside because we can do it better and we don't need His help or interference?

What will future generations say about us today?

  1. What will future generations say about us? I believe it will ultimately be positive, as there is more goodness than evil in the world.

  2. Hmmmm, good point. I remember the Enlightened, the Stupid, the Entitled. (*smiling*) Presently, I relate to the Divided -- both politically and societal. Unfortunately, I'm unwilling to capitulate, compromise even. I fear God is up there shaking his head.

    PS - Thank you for the links you shared!

    1. Thank you, Mevely. Yes, God is up there and is always in control, regardless of what people say or do; or even if they mock Him as you mentioned in my previous post.

      God bless you always.

  3. Wouldn't it be amazing if we would be remembered for a true revival of belief in our Lord and Savior? Let's get to work!
    Blessings, Victor!

  4. It would be nice if we were remembered as people who respected others, believed in God and did our best to make the world better. That's a tall order but anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

  5. My guess is that this will be thought of as the Unbelieving Yet Entitled Generation.

    1. True; common sense is not as common as we would expect.

      God bless you, Happyone.

  9. It probably won't be flattering, whatever it is. All we can do is pray.
