I recall reading a rumour, that no animals died during the Boxing Day Tsunami that hit in 2004. So the urban legend goes, animals sensed the tidal wave coming and ran/ flew for higher ground. Many people think that animals have a sixth sense, that we have lost, and this is evidenced by what apparently occurred during the Tsunami.
It made me wonder if children these days do in fact have such a sixth sense; as a massive generalisation, I get the impression that the younger generation are not as keen on working as I was. There is a large increase in youths having no intention of working, endless requirements for gap years, holidays and a distinct lack of career motivated people.
Perhaps they have a sense of some impending doom and what's the point in working for security if it's all going to end before they need it?
I have no conclusion to make, but perhaps we should consider whether they are right, or is Society's need for productive resources more important that an individual's freedom?
