message for our generation

Just a day after my return from Czech Republic - my native country whose social environment has become quite hateful and hostile in lots of ways in the past few years - my boyfriend and I visited a local records shop here in the United Kingdom and as my boyfriend is used to he started to chat with an older salesman behind the till. I kept on browsing through the vinyls but listened very carefully and joined one or two sentences now and then. The important part of his talk kinda started after comparing British young females' drinking habits to other youngsters in Europe. The conversation then shifted from how horribly some British people behave when visiting other countries to what a nonsense the Brexit is in such a time of globalization.
The man started talking about how much he enjoys traveling and seeing different cultures. How important it actually is for him to have a freedom of travel or living abroad. How some members of previous generations didn't have this privilege and how the ones nowadays wanting to close borders or build walls don't actually realize what a privilege that freedom is.
He said he truly believes in our - younger generation because despite our parents' generation somehow we do get it right. Somehow we see doing things the way our parents did is not working or it just doesn't feel right and we're not afraid to do it our own way. Somehow we do realize the importance of freedom and integration of all people and cultures no matter the race, gender, religion or any other factor. He said he puts his faith in our generation because he can see our enourmous determination to change the world for better. He talked about what an undestroyable weapon the internet is in our hands. How hard it is to control both it and us. How awesome it is that you can spread an important message with one click; how one photograph of injustice being done to someone shared all around the world can raise people from their chairs and start a revolution. He believes in us so much because that's exactly what we're doing; during the conversation he called our generation the change-makers several times for we're so often using everyday tools to make others aware, to make a change in other people's thinking and in general. 
He talked about an example how shockingly bad the regime in North Korea is but even there something's already happening - people are determined to risk and smuggle informations in and out. He mentioned how in every other decade when there was some sort of important revolution, it was started or done by the young people and that's why he's got so much faith in our generation. He also said what an important role music played in most of revolutions - though it's often been under a surface - the music and the need to relate to it is greatly important for us regardless of who we are, where we come from or what we do. Music is another powerful weapon in our hands and that's why the most oppressive regimes are so strict about the culture from the outer world - music is dangerous for it connects people so much. Just remember the generation of Woodstock and Vietnam War, Czechoslovakian Velvet Revolution, The Singing Revolution across Baltic states, The Peaceful Revolution that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and so many more!
It seems to me there's so much more to share with you - I'd like to quote for you the things he said, be able to describe the way he said it or the amount of hope in his voice to encourage everyone who needs it. Because this article's purpose is not to question whether he was right or wrong in his judgements or predictions. All I really wanted was just to pass on his message of encouragement. To pass on his trust in young generation that he puts in all of us around the world. Because when I was in Czech Republic for these two weeks even I felt quite hopeless about current situation to be honest. I really wonder how all of you, dear fellow people of my generation, cope with the hate outpouring from what seems to be like everywhere. I damn right bet you must feel hopeless as well. But it's important to always remember it's not just this one random guy's hope and trust in us. Just think about how many such people are there all around the world and especially in the countries where the oppression, hate or violence is the greatest. Think about what they are putting up with and what they are staying strong and fighting for, trusting us and knowing that younger generation - our generation - will not stay silent and will spread the word until there's a fair share of freedom for everybody. Just keep on doing your thing the best way you can and stay strong.
