We ended up talking about the differences between Boomers, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha, and one thing he said really caught my attention.
He talked about how older generations sometimes look at younger people and immediately think:
“The new generation doesn't know how to behave properly.”
But sometimes, that judgment comes simply from the way we look and present ourselves our hair, clothes, body types, lifestyle, and the things that are different from what they grew up with.
Honestly, I found his perspective interesting. After talking with him, I realized that he genuinely cares about understanding and connecting different generations, rather than just criticizing the younger ones.
He also told me about his project “የትውልድ ድልድይ” (Generation Bridge), which focuses on reducing the gap and misunderstandings between generations.
It was one of those random conversations where you meet someone for a few minutes and somehow leave with something to think about.
Maybe we don't always need to agree with another generation. Maybe we just need to understand where they're coming from.
