Lost Generation Video Parable
Posted by Sean Fyock on May 25th, 2010
Is your generation, the so-called “Lost Generation”, really lost? Take a look at this short (1 min 44 sec) video created by a 20-year old about what life may be like in 30 years for this “lost” generation.
This video is the 2nd place winner for a contest by AARP called “U @ 50″ asking respondents to consider life in 30 years. How does this interpretation fit your thoughts? How does this fit into the Christian image of life?
I would call this video a parable. A parable is a story that creates an image in our mind, using something that is familiar (or “normal”) and then turns that image in a way that has us re-think what should be “normal”. You can check your bible for any number of examples of parable by Jesus (i.e. The Good Samaritan – Luke 10:25-37).
