As opposed to pointing a finger up to see which way the wind is blowing, Generation 2020 will change the direction of the wind.
After going through the current hard times I need not reiterate here, I predict that Generation 2020 will acquire unmatched and phenomenal resilience. We will work to enhance the connectedness among all people. We will promote strong, powerful natural leaders who will create communities where everyone is needed.
Our experiences in 2020 will stimulate our imagination and strengthen our resolve to make our collective vision a reality.
While some less hopeful and less imaginative thinkers may want to label our generation the COVID Generation, the Pandemic Generation, or the Protest Generation, we will reject these descriptors that mark the retreat of progress and the decline of humanity. We will see and feel ourselves as wholly new and powerfully burnished by the crucible of 2020 into strong, precious, and valuable human beings.
Generation 2020 will be unstoppable as we work for the common good, find new ways to safeguard the earth, share our resources more generously, and support one another as we take responsibility for past history and advocate for justice and rights for people everywhere.
