“Our generation is hijacked by the interest to know the features and potential of a smartphone than of their own body.
Our body is a miracle scientists have not been able to figure out all of it yet.
There are scientific societies spending millions and billions of dollars in the research of one particular human organ and we choose to remain uninformed.
Meditation is a solution to many many walls we hit on our path of life. The common mistakes we make while choosing to meditate are:
1. Focusing too much on Am I doing it right.
2. Overexpecting to unlock "nirvana" within days
Since the mind gets stormy with thoughts even a single second of peace can help us feel more rested and leave us with a clearer path.
The idea of killing somebody might cross your mind, but do not get obsessed with thoughts. This thought will be 1 thought among the 60,000 you get every day.
The idea is to label it as a thought, accept it and move on without judging or rejecting it.
Meditation is about reaching the spot with acceptance. Letting it all in and shaping it well.
- Shivam Nirvan”
“Our generation is lost to the truth of God, to the reality of divine revelation, to the content of God's will, to the power of His redemption, and to the authority of His Word. For this loss it is paying dearly in a swift relapse into paganism.”
“Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is. After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.”

“Our generation is the change.”
Source: Why Are You Obsessed with My Race?
“Our generation is the change. We have to break the curse of hate. We have to break the curse of racism. We are the generation that needs to show our past generation that love and respect will not spread hate or cause pain but bring us together as one. My generation and the generations after are the only way to heal America’s open wounds of hate.”

“Our generation is tired of wars. It wants a revolution. Not against countries or people - but against a system. So our future history books can tell the story of hope rather than destruction, And of bridges rather than of borders.”
“Our generation is wonderful generation, full of wonder. It's very hard to find an example of it in all our history. Composed of contradictions — light and darkness mixed.”
“Our generation may be able to listen to sermons in a Joseph Campbellish way, treating Bible stories as instructional myths pointing to a deeper communal reality—that is, if we haven’t replaced them with Star Wars myths or their equivalent—but don’t ask us to believe with our heart and soul.”

“Our generation may stand at a crucial breakpoint in history, for we in the presently affluent nations may be the last who can afford to open up the high frontier. What we do during the next ten or twenty years may determine whether future generations will live in a humane and rewarding society, or whether they will spend their lives in desperate contention for the dwindling sustenance afforded by our limited terrestrial resources.”
“Our generation must fulfill the most noble of duties by ensuring the survival of future generations through the most basic of survival mechanisms - adaptation.”
“Our Generation
Our generation will be known for nothing.
Never will anybody say,
We were the peak of mankind.
That is wrong, the truth is
Our generation was a failure.
Thinking that
We actually succeeded
Is a waste. And we know
Living only for money and power
Is the way to go.
Being loving, respectful, and kind
Is a dumb thing to do.
Forgetting about that time,
Will not be easy, but we will try.
Changing our world for the better
Is something we never did.
Giving up
Was how we handled our problems.
Working hard
Was a joke.
We knew that
People thought we couldn’t come back
That might be true,
Unless we turn things around.
Now read the poem again… backwards.”
“Our generation was supposed to be about trying to deal with nuclear concerns and environmental disasters.”
“Our generation will not have regretted both perverse crimes, and the eerie silence of the kind”
“Our generation (yes-us-we here in this room) has created a world of unprecedented affluence and scientific progress, educated and civilised our kids only to bequeath them a planet that is overheated, under water, uninhabitable, a poisoned planet.”
“Our generation, and that of our children, will face its share of crises, just like every generation in the past. When those calls come, will you be ready? The answer depends on how we educate the next generation.”
“Our generation, like the one before us, must choose. Without the threat of the Cold War, without the pain of economic ruin, without the fresh memory of World War II's slaughter, it is tempting to pursue our private agendas -- to simply sit back and let history unfold. We must resist the temptation.”
“Our generation, unfortunately, is stuck to our phones - and, like, Twitter - constantly, which I have no problem with. I'd say we're not describing the children of America or anything like that, but there is something to take from it: It is kind of sad how we can't go thirty minutes without checking our phone.”
“Our generosity is measured not by what we give but by what we keep.”
“Our generosity never should exceed our abilities.”

“Our genes still expect us to eat a higher fat diet; they still see agricultural foods (and modern foods such as sugar), as poisonous; they still see lack of sunlight and exercise as problematic. We haven't genetically adapted to modern life because there is no selection pressure in the civilised world.”

“Our genetic heritage endows each of us with a series of emotional set-points that determines our temperament. But the brain circuitry involved is extraordinarily malleable; temperament is not destiny.”

“Our genetic map makes us human. Our physical and emotional genomes establish the baseline for us to operate. When we strike out in the world, we seek out vivid encounters with other people and nature that speak loudest to ourselves. What we make of our brilliant experiences modulates who we become. The way we think, feel, and express emotions enables us to personalize our experiences.”

“Our genius ain't appreciated around here... let's scram!”
“Our German Fatherland to which I hope will be granted... to become in the future as closely united, as powerful, and as authoritative as once the Roman world-empire was, and that, just as in the old times they said, Civis romanus sum, hereafter, at some time in the future, they will say, I am a German citizen.”
“Our German forefathers had a very kind religion. They believed that, after death, they would meet again all the good dogs that had been their companions in life. I wish I could believe that too.”
“Our German language has a word which in a magnificent way denotes conduct based on this spirit: doing one's duty [Pflichterfüllung]-which means serving the community instead of contenting oneself. We have a word for the basic disposition which underlies conduct of this kind in contrast to egoism and selfishness-idealism. By 'idealism' we mean only the ability of the individual to sacrifice himself for the whole, for his fellow men.”
“Our gestures will not erase Karma.
Our Shield will protect you against the assaults of the dark forces.
But the settlement of old accounts in unavoidable.
The Hand of Fate leads towards the Good.”

“Our gift to love...inspires love...
when we close our eyes to see...
the big picture”
“Our gifts and talents should also be turned over to Him. They should be recognized for what they are, God's loan to us, and should never be considered in any sense our own”
“Our gifts are very pleasant to Him. He loves to see us lay our time, our talents, our substance on the altar not for the value of what we give, but for the sake of the motive from which the gift springs.”

“Our gifts seem so small in comparison to God’s. But our efforts count, even though like Simeon we only stretch out our arms in the patience of faith so that we may receive the Holy Gift. Even though we only wait, poor and yearning in the darkness, in fervent longing for the proclamation, we are ready, and may help bring about the fullness of time.”
“Our gifts to this world, and this realm's gifts to us can come in many ways, often as we least expect them but they come especially when we are open to give, open to receive.”

“Our giving is but a reflex of God's giving.”
“Our global corporate investment bank competes with Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and a bunch of other banks that are in those businesses. We may have slightly different products or services, but so what? That's always been true in American business.”
“Our global definition of human success proves its practical value each time that the artificial intelligence (AI) industry agonizes about how to address the spectre of super-intelligent robots someday gaining the capacity to oust man from his pre-eminent position on earth and relegate us to subservience or, worse, irrelevance. Such fear will never materialize if the makers of these robots design them to gravitate to actions that align with the cause of human success in the context of our given definition. If, however, we persist in the folly that the definition of human success is arbitrary, then robots that adopt this stance of mind shall tend to inflict injury on society quite like likeminded people have hitherto done. In a nutshell, the world agonizes about what AI success will mean because the world has never defined what human success should mean universally. If we had such a definition, the concept of AI safety would not be problematic: it would automatically be aligned with the global definition of human success because AI success is a subset of human success.”

“Our global economy is out of control and performing contrary to basic principles of market economics.”
“Our global forests are the lungs of the world, and protecting them is fundamental for our survival. When we hand these forests over to future generations, we must be able to say we exercised our stewardship wisely and responsibly”
“Our global future depends on the willingness of every nation to invest in its people, especially women and children.”
“Our global institutional arrangements - the basic ground rules that govern our world economy - are human-made. They don't exist naturally, nor are they God-given. We make these rules, those of the WTO [World Trade Organization] Treaty for instance, which fill tens of thousands of pages. These words have been strung together by human beings and are also interpreted and enforced by human beings.”
“Our globe is under new dramatic environmental pressure: our globe is warming, our ice caps melting, our glaciers receding, our coral is dying, our soils are eroding, our water tables falling, our fisheries are being depleted, our remaining rainforests shrinking. Something is very, very wrong with our eco-system.”
“Our gloomy Presbyterian ideas encourage fear of God, not love for him.”
“Our glories float between the earth and heaven
Like clouds which seem pavilions of the sun,
And are the playthings of the casual wind.”
“Our glorification of violence is ripping society apart. I don't want my children exposed to it.”
“Our go-to source is no longer dictated by a small group of cable news outlets. We have to expand our view. Sometimes, a story is made and breaks on Twitter. We have to find a way to react to that, to consume and also disseminate the information from Twitter, which is not an easy thing to do.”
“Our goal as a parent is to give life to our children's learning--to instruct, to teach, to help them develop self-discipline--an ordering of the self from the inside, not imposition from the outside. Any technique that does not give life to a child's learning and leave a child's dignity intact cannot be called discipline--it is punishment, no matter what language it is clothed in.”
“Our goal as a team is to keep playing as a group for as long as we can because you will never have that team again. It is like a dying limb, you have to prune it off and let another one grow in its place. That is the way you have to do it, but it still hurts losing these guys and that team because they and you have put so much effort into building a team. Even if you win that last game (and a national championship), it hurts badly because the players know they will never have that same special group of guys together on the same team again. Somebody always goes and somebody new always comes in.”
