That’s a good question. The answer is a long a complicated one. I think it has to do with our early formative years. Our parents made it out of the second world war alive. Which was a big deal!
Then there was the Korean War, The Cold War with the threat of total annihilation literally over our heads at any time. Then then the Viet Nam War. War, War and add on to it a little bit more war.
What happens to a child under those sort of pressures is that they become a bit passive. What will be, will be. You see it in children of abuse today. Now write that on a large scale for an entire generation.
