Will we be good ancestors? : Comments

By Steven Schwartz, published 12/1/2023

When we pass on, will we be revered as 'good ancestors'? Or, will we hand the next generation a poorer, riskier, and more troubled world than the one our parents left us?

All this negativity doesn't sound right to me.
Fortunately too, 'generations' are not clearly defined.
They 'overlap'.
In practical terms, they are one continuous line.
There is one long column of people, moving forward.
Some drop out as they 'drop off'.
There are plenty of replacements.
And change is gradual, and the responsibility of all.
Destructive outcomes are many, due largely to the very great number of persons alive.
There are so many of us in the garden, that we haven't been able to avoid trampling over the flower beds.
As we move forward, we must learn to be motivated more by reason than emotion.
If we could establish that as a working principle, future citizens might admire the positive results.
Logical thought can solve many contentious issues.
If we are willing to abide by its logic.
That is where the problem lies.
I am sure those who fly spacecraft to the moon and back are very aware of the need to be logical.
They simply cannot afford to have their emotions interfere with good procedure.
And if we do the same, we might stay on the path, instead of spilling over in to the gardens.

Never before has there been so much information bequeathed to the next generation to learn from. Somehow though they manage to twist, warp & right-out falsify the information to suit their agenda rather than make full use of it for the common good. It looks as though each ancestor is literally more destructive then their predecessor.
