the exploration. I like asking questions. The reason why is
because the fund begins when you start researching for answers
such as it's not just me. It feels like we're
asking for a little more every day. What generation actually
started this? Plus? Can you name the generation that's had
enough of getting a little more? My name is Arrow.
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I happen to call it the daily Mess.
It's a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's
my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
We as people tend to throw things to the side
because we think we're gonna deal with it later on.
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily mess. So how did we get here?
We've always, always, always wanted a little bit more. No
real generation started this I want, I want, I want
method of getting things done, but one generation has supercharged it.
The urge to constantly want a little bit more is ancient.
We've always wanted more food for survival, more land for safety,
and more money for security. The I want it more
mentality goes all the way back to prehistoric times. It's
not looked upon as being greed, but rather defaults. It
literally says, it's how we've stayed a live. The Industrial
Revolution changed that between the seventeen hundreds and the eighteen hundreds.
That's when wanting more became mass produced. The physical act
of growth became measurable, expected, and continuous. Then we heard
the words enough is enough. Well, it came into being
and I didn't think it was just attached to my mom.
It was labeled the clear finish line. Now. Before this
time period, though, people lived hard, just asked by mom.
After it was introduced, it was well written about everything
felt breakable. Ooh that sounds like today, doesn't it. Whooooooo Hey,
coming up next, we're going to be breaking down the
generations who said this, who said that? And who said
enough is enough? Hey, thanks for coming back to the
daily mess. Breaking down the I want more generations means
looking into your own family roots. The baby Boomers did
not invent the I want it more attitude, but they
normalized it. Post World War Two created a lot of
new ways to live, rising wages, suburban homes. Advertising was everywhere,
and we were introduced to credit cards. Oh my god,
the American dream had become a lifestyle, not a hope,
a lifestyle. This is when bosses started using the term
you're doing well, but you can do better. Ooh. This
is when a little bit more became a social expectation.
It was a gentle giant. It was skeptical. It was
falling witness to corporate America promising and then burning out.
Our parents and systems began to fail. The millennials inherited
the hunger, but we were silenced by debt, precarious work,
and constant comparison with This changed the phrase a little
bit more to maybe just hey, I just need to
feel safe. As for gen zers, well they question a
lot of things too, which has created the big pushback. Yeah,
that's the generation that's saying enough is enough. I'm errow,
and that's the daily mess.
