Sociatal Dissapointment

 I suppose it's only normal for a person to become disillusioned with society. After all, isn't that the quintessential American father? disillusioned with his job, children, life, and society resulting in him watching sports on TV in his underwear with a generic branded beer in his hands?

Or perhaps this is the result of being "educated" in a world that seems to be constantly bombarded by alternate facts and realities. 

Better yet, perhaps it is the constant barrage of being told how wrong you are by the authorities in your life. Bosses, leadership, government representatives, they all seem to tell me the same thing, "no. you're wrong."

 And yet, minutes, hours, days, or even years later I am proven right. For most of my life (the same is undoubtedly true for most of you out there) the retort upon being proven correct is either dismissal or flat out lies. It is endlessly frustrating. 

Is this a generational thing? Does everyone feel like this at some point in their lives? Or have things changed to the point that those at the top refuse to cede their power and status as there becomes less and less for those below them to "do." 

I do wish there was a way to hear directly from those who lived during the last gilded ages. not those in power, but the people stuck in the middle. 

how can so many be so wrong, and to be told over and over for so long by so few who are so often proven wrong?
