Today, I will stand in my personal position and talk to you about this issue from the perspective of traveling:
Travel is a beautiful way for people to relax and broaden their horizons. But sometimes, intergenerational travel also allows us to appreciate the differences in life philosophies at different ages. For example, some "excessive" preparations of the previous generation before travel often cause a lot of confusion and ridicule among young people.

When you go out, the time control is extremely strict; Arrive at your destination a few hours early to prevent unexpected delays; Bags are stuffed with plenty of food and household items...... These phenomena are often seen in the heated discussions of netizens. For a time, this style of "overkill" seemed to have become a major "quirk" of the previous generation.

However, if we think about it from another perspective, can we find something that we can learn from it? Different age groups and different stages of life have their own reasonable survival wisdom.

A cautious mindset that prevents problems before they happen
For parents, it can be said that it is a deep-rooted habit to prepare far in advance before traveling. This is not only due to the conditions of the era in which they grew up, but also reflects the way of thinking of "taking precautions" and "being prepared for danger in times of peace" in traditional Chinese culture.

In fact, the travel conditions of those days were unimaginably rudimentary. Restricted by transportation, accommodation, catering and other conditions, there are many uncertainties and risks in traveling. Bad weather, traffic congestion, unexpected situations, etc., can cause travel delays or disruptions. Therefore, in order to avoid these unexpected situations as much as possible, they must plan ahead and make proper arrangements, preferring to "over-prepare" rather than make any mistakes.

Today, although all conditions are no longer what they used to be, their cautious mentality of "taking precautions before they happen" has been rooted in their hearts. Blindly making fun of ridicule is inevitably biased. Facing up to this may allow us to reflect on ourselves and examine whether we lack an awareness of risk and a sense of awe for the unknown.

Traditional life philosophy and values
In their parents' time, their education and living environment shaped a very different outlook on life than they do today. If we think about it from these backgrounds, it is not difficult to find the inner logic behind it.

For example, their great emphasis on food reserves is mainly due to the influence of education from an early age. At that time, food was hard to come by, so it became a matter of course to have some dry food ready at all times. Once this philosophy is formed, it remains with you even when the living environment changes dramatically.

For another example, they start their day's work and rest early, which actually reflects the traditional farming lifestyle of "lying on the ice and begging for fish". In real life, the longer they travel, the more willing they are to get up early to walk the way. This kind of inside-out code of conduct has its own cultural origins and internal causes.

Therefore, if we fully understand the reasons for the formation of these habits from the perspective of background and environment, it is not difficult to find that it actually contains the basic concepts of diligence, frugality, and prudence of the previous generation. Even if the approach is a little conservative, the original intention behind it is worth reflecting on and learning from each of us.

Generational differences breed communication
There are inherent generational differences in the concept of life and lifestyle, which is a common phenomenon and an inevitable result. If we can look at it objectively, tolerate and understand, and generate positive interaction and communication on this basis, we will definitely be able to obtain unexpected gains.

For example, the "excessive" preparation of parents often makes young people feel a faint sense of insecurity: do they encounter so many accidents when traveling? On the other hand, do they ignore the risks? In the process, we can re-examine our attitude towards life and think about whether we lack the fear of the unknown.

For another example, observing the various behaviors of the elders, we can get a glimpse of a traditional wisdom of life. The concept of life comes from cultural precipitation, and every way of acting may contain a profound philosophy of life. If you look at it with a calm mind and listen to the stories and origins, you may even get unexpected inspiration.

Of course, the generation gap does cause some problems for both sides: the elders are frustrated by the younger ones as "outdated", and the younger ones are confused by the behavior of the elders. However, as long as we maintain an open and inclusive mindset and exchange understanding on an equal footing, it will not be difficult to bridge these gaps one by one.

There is wisdom everywhere in life
It is true that different age stages have different life experiences, growth environments, and life experiences, so they naturally form different survival concepts and behaviors. But in the final analysis, behind every wisdom of life, there is a yearning and pursuit of a better life.

If you are "excessive" cautious, you will be ridiculed as a quirk, which is a bit short-sighted. There is wisdom everywhere in life, and the key is whether we are willing to understand and inspire each other as equals.

Only in this way can young people be inspired to reflect on themselves and pay attention to risks; It can also make the elders feel respected and recognized, and eliminate the intergenerational barrier; More importantly, through exchanges and mutual learning, people of different ages can draw different nutrients from each other, and finally achieve the sublimation of self-awareness and life wisdom.
The picture comes from the Internet
To sum up, perhaps we should be more open and tolerant to look at the various generational differences in our lives. By communicating and thinking with each other in a peaceful and rational way, I believe that we will be able to find wisdom in differences and improve in the collision of ideas.
