Bravo!
I wish more young people (and I don't say that deprecatingly at all, even though I could be your mother) wrote (and thought) like you. You even noticed the bad grammar. Wow.
I wish everyone (young, 'young,' and 'old') would stop to question the status quo instead of chasing their own tails. Okay, one's own tail is familiar and interesting, but there's a lot more out there…. The examined life is not narcissism. It means not being in denial about one's flaws and true motivations; that self-knowledge brings us closer to what counts: connection to others in an honest and cooperative manner.
Too much of 'branding' (and other business-world paradigms) seems to focus on ambition as its own reward. You don't have to be under 30 to be a money-mad, tunnel-thinking egotist with no regard for anything that doesn't provide support for # 1. If, on Earth Day, no less, we want a hint of how we got to the point of soiling our own nest so egregiously, I vote for that!
