It seems like every generation blames the succeeding generation for a level of moral decay and weakening of the fabric of society. The quote below is from Hesiod. He was a contemporary of the Greek poet Homer and lived around 750BC.
“I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint.”
