Posted August 15th to the Southland Times Newspaper Invercargill NZ
I hear Southland has a reputation for grumpy old men, self taught in social politics both local and international
who feel morally obliged to publicly pontificate about the danger of change in our society here and abroad.
I am happy to report they need not stop the clock because change is the essence of life and possibilities of unknown avenues but more importantly no generation has the right to dictate to the next how to live especially if they want to glorify the world of their parents or grandparents generation or worse the 1st Century.
Yes we need the wisdom of the old and wise more than ever but in the end the planet is passed on to next in line and yes they make dumb mistakes but they absolutely don’t need to be told they are unworthy. The human race is as always a generational work in progress. Unless you count 2nd generation trust fund kids!
