Another Internet user replied to Linn from Quebrada and said that “there comes a time when we realize that trying to counter this prejudice against his generation is useless.” “Because they are older, they think they are more knowledgeable in this regard. Suffering is inevitable, but the struggle to enlighten the new generation is essential,” wrote the follower.

“It’s not useless because it’s not about them. It’s not about convincing and uniting. It’s for me. I can’t and I don’t want to now, allow this idea to take root, crystallize and be moved. I’m tired, we are, all of them. But no, I will tire less by accepting that suffering is inevitable, “wrote Linn from Quebrada.
