Our Young People Should be Commended, Not Criticized

A few days ago, I was at the post office and I heard an elderly man tell one of the clerks that he's retired and all he does now is sit on his behind and watch TV all day. He continued to say, how he's paid his dues and he deserves to be lazy. Then he said, that young people these days are lazy, and refuse to work hard for anything. I found this statement to be problematic, yet interesting.
