Generations follow each other faster and faster. If earlier the difference of 10 years have not felt too keenly, now already in people younger than myself 5-6 years look as aliens from another planet. To live longer, need not be confined to the cozy little world of saying: "In the past everything was better." Retrouvlecheniya and old attachment - it's good.
