I’m a Boomer and have long feared we wouldn’t age well.
Same here (near the end of that generation.) Either we were enamored by the lure of the age, and succumbed to its deadly infection, or we were vexed beyond hope.
We’re getting by okay. It’s our granddaughter’s future we’re really concerned about.
I am a Boomer, as well, and I have not been too proud of a great many things that our generation is known for. (The brave men who fought in Viet Nam would be our great exception to that.)
Hate to say, but I think you're spot on. I had been mentioning this to people for a long time -- even posted above article to a friend on FB.
As a lower-end Boomer (born in the late 1950s) I don't relate well to the older, leftover hippies, whom I truly find kooky. Suicide is the ultimate narcissism. The fear of aging & the moral relativism, which has led to complete amorality, will drive many in that direction. Others might indirectly self-destruct through drugs, etc.
They will go out in style, though -- have parties, invite friends. Someone did this a few years ago after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Like Socrates who drank the hemlock.
