Hello world and welcome back to yet another weekly post of Sierra's Weekly Sayings! This week I will be talking about the generation of wimps. I remember when I played soccer as a child and winning a lot. I always thought our team was very good, but now that I look back on it, I don't remember one time where we even scored a goal. I have s many articles about our generation being known as the generation of wimps and in some ways I think it is true. I completely agree with the fact that if a child never learns to lose, how will they finally react when they do? In all honestly I think that younger leagues should keep scores but I think it is still important for the coaches to do their jobs, and their jobs are to teach them to play the sport, and learn that winning is not everything, they are there to have fun. Related to this is the whole who is special and equal thing. In a way I agree with this. I think that if everyone if creative, smart, talented, and special, where is the individuality? In reality, not everyone is all of these things and they may never be. The equality people want is something that may never happen. Don't get me wrong, I would love everyone to be treated equal but we cannot all be physically equal, it is impossible. I am in no way offended by our generation being called the nation of wimps because in ways it is true. The things that bugs me is that the world is saying the if we can't win, no one can, or if we can't run fast, then no one can run fast. I want equality but not this way, I will not let us live in the world of "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut where everyone is handicapped physically and mentally in order to be fully equal.

To end this weeks post, one of my most recent quote discoveries,
" Individual freedom and individual equality cannot co-exist. I dare say no one since Thomas Jefferson has really believed it." - Katharine Fullerton Gerould
