The thing is that it's so hard for me to really understand what's going on in their minds because I know their upbringing, life experiences and basic beliefs - their worldview - is just so different from mine and I as much as I learn about what they think I still don't feel like I really get it.
It freaks me out that one day I won't be able to understand the generations that come after us in a similar way. I'm scared of the cultural disconnect happening in more than one direction :S
