I do understand. I was born in 1947
Most adult men I knew in the 1950's were suffering from PTSD as a result of 6 years of wars and tended towards the extremely-difficult-to live-with.(especially my dad,who could be real dead cunt)
I finally developed the ability to form abstract thoughts at about age 12. (1959) Before then, I thought the 50's' were just dandy.What happened? I developed a Catholic conscience overnight,that's what fucking happened,I was so pissed off.-----No more shoplifting,chucking rocks at the Protestant kids,swearing at the Italians or belting my little sister. It had dawned on me that those things were wrong IN THEMSELVES,not just because I would get into trouble if I got caught. ( which was almost never).
Things didn't pick up until 1963 when I turned 16 and began earning some money of my own. I loved the 60's,except for getting called up in 1968.Oh. On second thought, I guess the 1960's weren't all that bloody wonderful either.(hated the army).
