Generation Gap Is Thought Absorption Gap

Generation gap is just ‘thought absorption gap’. The Sanskrit word ‘Udana Shakti’ refers to your capacity to absorb fresh thoughts and ideas. Which is at its best in early ages of life but deteriorates as one ages. A sharp decline is natural in later stages, commonly termed as ‘short term memory loss’. As ‘Udana’ declines, one finds it difficult to accommodate fresh ideas, revolutionary perspectives or keep pace with changing fashion. The youngsters move ahead swiftly, while the elders stuck in dead past, ridiculed as ‘baby boomers, gen X etc.’. This ever-widening thought-gap between generations is the generation gap. A simple understanding of this natural phenomenon will help the victims at both ends resolve their issues mutually and gracefully. Ageing, a Myth - Online Lecture - September 12 , 2021, 9.30 AM EDT
