In Bulgaria, gangs of young people have been in the news for some time now, attacking and beating innocent people on the streets or in large shopping centers in the capital. And this news worries me a lot. We are not talking about random crime here, but about the fact that you can go to the store and come back beaten up for no real reason. Simply because someone decided to bring out all the inherent badness within themselves, put it on display, be proud of it, and make it the guiding direction in life.
I wish I knew that this was a mistake of youth, that this was a Gen Z trait, really, but will this character trait go away with the years - who could say? Let's hope that this is just a temporary attraction of youth, when hormones are raging so much that they can't think rationally. That things will settle down with age, and that yes, not all, but most of these people will get on the right track and things will normalize. Otherwise, we are doomed.
