If you've ever made a point to work with a difficult person (call it "killing them with kindness" and not relenting) you will find that most people's issues are not what you thought they were. Once they are broken of their negativity, it is the most satisfying thing one can experience. I see a lot of sick people in my chosen career. Sick in many ways - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The most rewarding moments of my job have been working with people whom others have deemed too difficult to bother, and then watching these kinds of breakthroughs happen and being able to see the real person underneath shine through.

That's why I prefer not to generalize where people are concerned, be it generationally or in any other manner. By doing so, you will often miss a blessing. If you notice in my original post on here, I mentioned using generalizations regarding eras in which we were born, but then went on to speak about the uniqueness of individuals no matter the generation.

Well said Edith
