Historic Vids氏による、1900年に生まれの人生の概要

"For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900… Then on your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war, including many of your friends who volunteered to defend freedom in Europe. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million. On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 38. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. If you were lucky, you had a job that paid $300 a year, a dollar a day. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren't even over the hill yet, but don't try to catch your breath. If you lived in London, England, or most of continental Europe, bombing of your neighborhood, or invasion of your country by foreign soldiers along with their tank and artillery was a daily event. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war. At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish. At 55, the Vietnam War begins and doesn't end for 20 years. Millions of people perish in that conflict. On your 62nd birthday, there is the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could have ended. Sensible leaders prevented that from happening. In 2020, we have the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands have died; it feels pretty dangerous; and it is. Now think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you think they survived all of the above? When you were a kid in 1965, you didn't think your 65-year-old grandparents understood how hard school was, and how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above. Perspective is an amazing art. Refined as time goes on, and very enlightening. So, let's try and keep things in perspective. Let's be smart, we are all in this together. Let's help each other out, and we will get through all of this.” -Author Unknown

@historyinmemes Imagine being born a few years earlier so you had to go and fight in WW1 and still have to deal with all the future events (assuming you came back).

HISTORY WILL JUDGE THEM @sendthemdown

@historyinmemes They’re the true heroes 💯 we don’t know we’re born with our “how dare you offend me”, “don’t you question my right to do this and that” and our quickly growing entitled population who take everything and give nothing.

Perspective is the pinnacle of understanding one another. Thought, communication, and conversation should be at the forefront of each argument and debate. And this hopefully evolves to some resolution. When boomers crap on millennials saying millennials don't work hard enough, boomers should understand that millennials don't have the same opportunity that boomers had when they were growing up. Starting a business using saved money from "a paper route everyday when I was a kid" does not work in this day and age. Having one job to sustain you the rest of your life isn't the norm anymore. Similarly, when millennials crap on boomers (I'm 💯 guilty), we should always put into perspective how they got here: legit hard work (no sitting around looking at a computer for 8+ hours a day), Vietnam War, inflation of the 70s/80s, strong family values, etc. There are issues to talk about and learn from both sides.
