Then and Now, have you ever stopped to
think about what it was like for your parents when they grew up? How about when
you grew up? To the life style of the children today compare it to when they
growing up.
I
like to watch the old movies on TCM and I look at the fashion of the men and
women. How different they are from today’s style and even different from when I
was growing up. But the odd thing about fashion it is slowly reverts back to
the style of the thirties and forties. The only thing different is nobody wears
hats anymore.
Even
the advise we give our children has changed from when I grew up to the parents of
today giving advise is very different. I remember my father telling me to
always keep a dime in my shoe when I went out, then when I started dating he
told me to keep a quarter in my shoe. There was payphones on every corner. Now
there isn’t a payphone in sight.
Today’s
generation has a cell phone glued to their ear and a ipad glued to their
fingers. Even their parents don’t buy the newspaper anymore. They go online and
read the paper from their screens. Back in the old days the people depended on
the newspaper for the news, weather, and the want ads for sales and jobs.
Everything
revolves around changes whether we want them or not. If we stomp are foot and
say we aren’t interested in change, well we get left behind and all alone. Now
don’t get me wrong, change is good, but sometimes change is very complicated,
when the old days life was simpler and more direct.
The
younger generation will never know the simpler way of life and may look at the
old black and white movies are being very silly and made to make people laugh.
But those old black and white movies are what this nation was made from.
Yes,
there was out of work lines at the food banks when jobs couldn’t be found. Much
like today, we have churches and shelters for the people who can’t find jobs. There
is more opportunity now then back then.
So
if you are one to complain take a look at one of the old black and white movies
and see basically what it was really like back then.
MAY GOD
BLESS!
