    The older generations have always seen the younger generations as lazy

    “They think they know everything, and are always quite sure about it.”

    “Our youth love luxury. They have bad manners and despise authority. They show disrespect for their elders and love to chatter instead of exercise. Young people are now tyrants, not the servants of their household. They no longer rise when their elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up food and terrorize their teachers.”
    Rhetoric, Aristotle, 4th Century BC
