The Fast and The Furious

“Youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a regret.”
You must have seen old men shaking their heads about their good old days. And when they ponder over the ways of youth, they foresee nothing but ruination. Complaints, scolding, advice, non-satisfaction is all we get from these old men for every step we take. We, young people of today are full of energy, vigor, adventure willing to take risks anywhere, anytime. Tough challenges are always hailed by us whereas caution, calmness, carefulness are not a part of our mental makeup.
Youth seldom listen to advice. They tend to think that old people are fossils, with no sense of proportion and are just vital obstacles to zestful living. This generation gap which is widening, owes to a number of reasons. It is one of those perennial issues and which does not envisage a compromise because of sharp differences.
Old people all over the world believe that foolishness and rashness is associated with youth and calm reflection and wisdom with age. Alright, I agree that youngsters are foolish but aren’t there any old men with grey hair lacking wisdom as expected. So, expectations come into play here. All youths don’t lack wisdom and also not all grey haired men are wise!!!
You probably must be thinking that I am a youth so I am saying so, right? Let me elucidate my point in this case. Tell me if he would have entertained the thought of losing his life. Then would be there be any progress in the field of astronomy as it is now but he was very willing to take risk. His one step for men was indeed one giant step for mankind. Like there are numerous examples but I don’t intend to bore you by citing them.
I can still say with full confidence that youngsters are smiling and old people are left unconvinced. This is what is largely conveyed through the expression “generation gap”. The young and old will always disagree because their basic approach is different and they think on different lines. Like parallel lines, converge to a single point. They think with different wavelengths.
“…..crabbed age and youth cannot live together youth is full of pleasure age is full of care youth like summer morn age like winter bare youth is full of sport age’s breath is short youth is nimble age is lame…”
(Quoted lines by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE)

it is very apparent that you have a wide vocabulary... but, on an objective point of view, there are words that were misused. You see, synonyms aren't words with the same meanings most of the time. They are usually related words. Work on your sentence structure too. The idea is there but the flurry of words makes it hard to grasp.
