Can understand why gen x, millennials, and the generation following

aren't family oriented.  Bet they've had similar thoughts, and questions.  For instance, why did a certain relative take her dad to europe, but not her mom - the parents were married to each other, and lived in the same house.  Which probably led up to a serious, if not permanent,  falling out between mother and daughter.  Just an aside, concerning the daughter - never much cared for the...snoot.

Fa-fa-faammilieees can be nasty to one another; so, it doesn't come as a surprise, if the younger generations have seen, and have heard more than enough.  Now, as adults - and free of the drama - young people want to live life on their own terms - and listen to the music they want to hear, without having to put up with other people, who can't seem to keep their yaps shut, for more than two minutes. 

Nope, one doesn't have to be a red-piller to enjoy being single.

Okay, i get it:  wanting to live life on one's own terms, is less than Biblical.  Well guess what!  These same people, most likely, had been either exposed to Scripture being routinely mocked - ("Dear Lord above, thanks for the grub" ... what th' hey...??)  Or worse...the Holy Word wrested into an awful mix of mean spirited / salvation-by-works.   Once those mental maps are etched deep (with a dull pen) it's, seriously, nothing short a miracle, for those jagged lines to be smoothed out, let alone, completely erased - so that a better route be drawn.  

By the way, it's not the pizza guy knocking at the church house door, wanting to be admitted. 

Back in the day, when $100.00 meant something, there was a family function (a.k.a. gimmee-fest) going on - where several hundreds were being tossed around, as if they were $20s.  One of the currency tossers (who poked fun at someone who gave a mere $50) was generally short when a utility or repair bill came in the box.  It's one thing to be short on cash, due to job loss, illness, and the ongoing legalized robbery (inflation), but so another when one blows their $$ upon impress parties, fancy restaurants, and vacations.  

Time to wrap this up.

It wasn't Gen X, or Millennials, who took beauty, and stamped it in the ground.  That wicked work had already been about complete by the late 1960s - when the oldest Gen X were attending Miss Marsha's Romper Room School (pre-kindergarten).

"For I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.  And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."  Matthew 10:35-36

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast."  Ephesians 2:8-9

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."  Revelation 3:20
