Today the Daily Post has asked us… If you could spend the next year as someone radically different from the current “you” — a member of a different species, someone from a different gender or generation, etc. — who would you choose to be?

I wouldn’t choose a different gender and probably not a different species although being my dog for a day might not be too bad. But I would choose to be part of a different generation if only for a while. I would choose to be someone who actually made it all the way through a great conflict like World War II or maybe the American Revolution just to see how they did it. Maybe it’s just because I saw the movie Unbroken the other night and something in it resonated with me.

Louis Zemperini, The hero of Unbroken

I can’t help but feel our own generation is on the precipice of some great conflict and that we are about to walk in an emotional space we are unfamiliar with. I would like to know what to expect and maybe that whatever is required of me is actually already inside.

Do you sense something huge is coming for our generation?
