Re: A little concerned about the future ...
You're not the only one. I don't know if there's one simple answer to this, but I imagine every generation asks these same questions -- and is sometimes pleasantly surprised and other times very disappointed. Sometimes that's the fault and responsibility of the new generation that too soon disregards the teachings and wisdom of the past. And sometimes -- perhaps often -- that is the fault of the older generation clinging to an understanding of things that is overly simplified, inaccurate, or illogical.
