FULL CIRCLE

I do understand the bewilderment of the Greatest Generation who watch the squandering of its hard work, pain and sacrifice

but

I do not understand the selfishness of the Boomer Generation who then and now think the world owes them everything.

I do not understand the ego of Generation X who think that if the earth would just stand still and listen to them they offer the solutions to the world's problems.

but

I do understand the naivety of Generation Next who believe that life's benefits come without hard work, pain and sacrifice.

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".

Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.

Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.

In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
