My advice to Gen Z…

23JUN2024; 1359, SUN– Baltimore, MD, USA

Peaceful tidings; and please pray for the Bidens… Seriously though, Blessed SUN afternoon to everyone; especially my Generation Z readers, who are taking the heartfelt time and energy to hear me out.

It’s much appreciated; sincerely, truly/duly, and actually factually. The following is a briefly expounded version of my advice to a dear British friend; from a few days ago.

She was prepping for a live Q&A, with an audience almost exclusively comprised of Gen Z. Please pardon my coarseness; crassness; and/or obtuseness.

It’s wholly unintentional; by and large. Without further ado; and, again, here’s to you: The reader–

1.) Gen Z is the generation of skipping breakfast. Instead they have to figure out a way to get back to basics.

How many of Gen Z take the time to wake up early and workout before a well balanced, nutritious meal? I’d venture to wager that it’s not a majority; nor even a decent percentage.

2) As a result, Gen Z is ripe with body dysmorphia/physique dissatisfaction. As well as stress overload; largely because they've forgotten the adage, "Look good; feel good; do good."

How many of them workout in the early morning sun; even if it's just modified pushups? Is much of Gen Z known to knockout a nice little weight lifting exercise with the dawn?

3.) They don't know anything of the importance of vitamins and minerals. Even from the sun and/or nourishment.

Most of them start thinking sexual when you mention Vitamin D; regrettably. That’s got to change before too, too much longer; if I may.

4.) I don't know about in the UK (United Kingdom); but in the U.S., all's Gen Z seemingly focuses on is money and sex. It's a surefire miracle that there aren't more people who are brazenly open about their debauchery.

That’s just simple and plain; with mainly gov’t to blame. “Don’t at me.”

5.) There's no Unity amongst Gen Z. Lest we forget; there can be no community without it.

“United we stand. Divided we fall.”

6.) Gen Z is grotesquely ashamed to be followers of any sort of faith based belief system; or at least ostensibly so. They would seemingly much rather be way off the mark; and neck deep in wrongdoing.

Especially if it means that they need not worry about their finances; nor resources, even for but a time. The almighty dollar is arguably what rules supreme over all other matters in Gen Z’s decision making processes.

And, in closing:

7.) Gen Z does not know the meaning of certain matters; “not for nothing.” For example: How many of them know that unforeseen consequences are oft weightier than easily predictable repercussions.

Further more, how much of Gen Z is aware that there's almost no way to have a valued identity/purpose (a vital combo) without some sort of faith based belief system?

A series of questions that all more or less demand answers; especially from my beloved Gen Z readers. Even if one doesn’t want to publicly answer; or what have you, it’s quite feasible that the queries can only benefit any and all that are brave enough to honestly contest them.
