Generations
A beautiful granddaughter was born yesterday into the family of a best friend. It is her second grandchild. Everyone is full of joy.
This morning I found myself pondering the future of this coming generation and what wonders they will see. My Grandmother witnessed the invention and production of the automobile; my Mother saw the development of radio and television for the masses; and I have been awed by cyber-technology and the Internet.
It is hard for me to phathom what will come next; successful ‘cold fusion’, teleportation, emancipation from fossil fuel technology? All senarios that play around in my head.
The real question for me is, what we humans will become. Will the path of greed continue to grow until we reach anarchy? Will the spirit in man be able to hang on to it’s nobility?
This coming generation needs our guidance and our prayers, for much of that future is in their hands.
