Summary

This quote suggests that older people criticizing and disapproving of younger generations is essential for their own well-being. By finding fault in the youth, it keeps older individuals mentally active and engaged, allowing their thoughts and opinions to flow freely. Thus, this critique serves as a form of mental exercise or stimulation, metaphorically improving their blood circulation. The quote implies that this denunciation is not meant to harm or discourage the younger generation but rather as a beneficial process for the elders.
