Lost Generation Video Parable

Posted by Sean Fyock on 25th May 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).
