I don't expect you to change because you read my comment. I just know that as time goes on, you will be hearing this more and more from more and more people. Eventually, it will come from people you know and care about. At some point, you may decide to be self-reflective and begin to think about your place in this world and what the consequences of your actions are. Maybe you won't though, I have an elderly neighbor that literally spits every time he sees an Asian person, maybe you will double down on your behavior into old age and be someone else's old neighbor that is stuck in the past being endlessly bitter towards the world for evolving without you.
At any rate, comments like mine are just sign posts on the road. The younger generation is already pissed at the selfish older generations. It's just the beginning, more signs are coming.
