Interesting observations. My partner and I have always focused on the things we share in common, I hadn’t really considered the value of contrast in an intergenerational relationship.

One cannot be comfortable with the message, but it does, very loudly, get your attention.

I think of parameters or limits as useful, from Wittgenstein's first perceptions, but do not agree that we count on contrast for exuberance (which is not the claim). Anyway, what is great about expressing yourself, in writing, in music, in inspiration, and in current events is that YOU are focus of your imagination.
