#Doctorlynn.com #Thursday Dose ~ #Corona leave us #Baby #boomers alone!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The #corona virus is seriously attacking those 65 and older. There’s 76 million of us between the age 55 and 75 and they say we hold most of the wealth so why won’t you leave us alone? Is it because we are collecting our SSI and on #Medicare? Is this entitlement we all paid for costing too much?

Corona your being brutal to the elderly and that is what we might call elder abuse. I think it is time we defeated you as only the “ME” Generation can do.  After all we were dubbed a narcissistic lot!   But we brought about Civil Right, we demanded the end of the Vietnam War, we had the best music, the best concert of all times (Wood Stock) and now thanks to us many of you younger folk can buy legal #weed.

Thank us for tie dye, the fitness revolution, hot tub parties, the sexual revolution, spirituality, self-help books  and many of the conveniences we all enjoy each day; so why corona are you attacking us?

It was said that the #Me Generation made self- realization and self-fulfillment ideals its cultural aspirations rather than the importance of social responsibility. Are you finally getting even for all that self-absorbed narcissism of our youth? What about today’s #Millennials? Aren’t they a bit narcissistic?

We over 65 have been told to go into social isolation which is exactly what seniors are supposed to avoid. We eat out; go to movies, travel and shop. We spend money and when we spend money it’s good for the #economy so why is Corona attacking us?

Most of us are staying home and enjoying some time away from the bustle of everyday life. We’re listening to  music, reading, cooking, watching @Netflix and doing what the Me Generation has always done – be a little defiant, but this time instead of not trusting anyone over thirty we don’t trust anyone thirty and younger. But we love you and wish you the best because when this is all said and done Corona will not have defeated us but hopefully make us revisit the notion that may-be with peace, love and inclusion we can make the world a better place not just tomorrow but well into the future.

Corona, leave us baby boomers alone. Nothing defeated us then and nothing will defeat us now because we are the narcissistic Me Generation, a loving and peaceful lot, and if there is something you cannot defeat it’s all us MEs’ – a defiant lot!

 

. Namaste ~ may you go with health, happiness and peace
