THE IF GENERATION
Nowadays, many people have issues with appreciating what they have; it is always the
matter of ‘If I were richer...’, ‘If I were younger...’, ‘If I were him...’ etc. I don’t have a
problem with the fact that we want more from our lives; what annoys me is the fact that
we keep saying what we would do ‘IF’...
When I was younger, I thought that if my parents had been richer I could have been
more fortunate with my life. I was losing my time on thinking that if I had been born in the
family of my cousin, I would have enjoyed private tennis lessons, skiing holidays in
Austria or expensive, fashionable clothes. What I didn’t take into consideration back then
was the fact that I didn’t really like sport, I absolutely hated skiing and expensive clothes
often covered the lack of personality. In other words, I was jealous of the things that I
didn’t want in reality.
Nowadays I keep finding myself the new ‘ifs’ that can successfully keep me away from
being happy. I think that if I had more time, I would start going to the gym; if I had more
money, I would eat healthy etc. Result? An overweight 30-year-old woman, always
complaining about how difficult life is.
But the problem of ‘ifs’ doesn’t finish here. We tend to overuse the 1st conditional in quite
straightforward situations. ‘I’ll visit you if I have time’ usually means ‘I won’t visit you, I’m
busy’ or ‘I will lend you the money if I can’ equals: ‘ I will not lend you the money, don’t
put me in an uncomfortable situation’. Why do we choose to send confusing messages
when we can simply say what we think? We have to be not only politically correct
anymore, we must be socially correct too.
1. Is the author annoyed with the fact that nowadays people don’t appreciate their lives?
Yes/No
2. Does the author regret not being able to train tennis? Yes/No
3. Does the author think that expensive clothes may compensate for an uninteresting
character? Yes/No
6. Does the author think that people often say things which they don’t mean? Yes/No
