“This is 21st century. You work hard and make a living for yourself and you family or you seat down and be contented with the 90s lifestyle. Back in the 90s life was much easier We eat in one plate with love and harmony we play together sleep together. But in 21st century we eat separately and we sleep separately. The older you get the lonelier it’s gets and you have to keep going”, another user added.
