There comes a time when the youth of a society must step up to make a contribution. As some generations age they aren’t able to do the same things they could when they were younger. It’s also important for previous generations to mentor the youth of the day to prepare them to take charge and do good things in the world. The contributions of all generations should be honored and appreciated. There comes a time to pass the torch from one generation to another so the work of community will continue and life will go on.
I was just thinking the other day that a combination home would be kind of cool… like pairing up elderly who would otherwise be in a nursing home with foster children who need the kind of wisdom and attention that an older person can give. You’d still need the in-between people to run it all but maybe it would be good for all generations…
