Observation of the Generation Gap, Care for the future...

This may be a dramatic overstatement...and actually, I know it is, but I have come across quite a few beings from older generations seem to have been dulled by the world...It is like we start out with this great idealism that comes from a higher part of us (our higher or "authentic self", perhaps) and then we make compromise after compromise with the world just so we can fulfill our own needs.  I know that sounds judgemental, and I will be the first to say that I have done this to an extent and I beat myself up for doing so...I want to help create a beautiful, wonderful future for all of Life, I want to help Life evolve.  I know I'm not alone, and I know that these next few years on earth are going to be very interesting to say the least...I just want to run into more people in person that share this feeling of being responsible for creating the future of life and are enthusiastically willing and able to carry forth this mission.  It is amazing to be able to connect with people on this site, and pretty much all of them share this idealism.  I guess I just want to get started doing...Man, I am restless....
