Hi, Byron!
Wonderful story. You are totally right --our generation has been of strong and stubborn people, and maybe for this we got a lot manifested to change society. Still, others have held fast to conservative ideas.
And yes, yes, we had to go alone many times.
I am sure changes already started in England as the "the hippie" resigned --or maybe "he was resigned", I don't know.
I am worried about the Ukrainian War, as it seems Europe is facing a new convulsion due to that kind of leader who wants "to unify" German people, Serbian people; and now, Slav people. These leaders have always brought havoc to Europe. I hope the war finishes asap. Let's see.
I wish you ALL the BEST, my friend. Louisa.
