What is the value of youth? It’s a lively and productive period in our lives. What do people miss about this period? What advice do older people have for youth? Through this collection of blog posts, I hope to build a unique bond between people living through two very different yet special seasons of life. Today’s youth need to understand the value of this priceless period of in our lives. What could be more effective than getting to know about youth memories from the people who have had time to reflect? They have “been there, done that.” Here’s my second interviewee.
So I interviewed this old gentleman sitting at the bus stop. Turned out to be a very special interview! Unfortunately, he did not let me take a picture!
Me:If you were to share one secret about your youth with us, what would it be?
Him: I am a holocaust survivor. I had written a book during those times, but never published it.
Me: Why so?
Him: I did not want to spread the violence and negativity.
Me: True. If you were to give a message to today’s youth, what would it be?
Him: Remember if you can, spread the good. And if you can’t, don’t bother doing anything!
