    Gen X: why aren’t the millennials thanking us? We took away their benefits and stability. They should feel way more alive now!

      That’s another Brad Pitt character, Achilles:

      I’ll tell you a secret. Something they don’t teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

      Gen x isn’t to blame for that though. They were born after boomers and many of them faced the same struggles that millenials and current generations are now.
