It's often said that the
future belongs to the children. However, I believe this phrase presents a passive
view that could promote the thought that also is their problem.
I think it's time to shift from this and emphasize the responsibility of the present in shaping the future.
This shift prompts us to reevaluate how we address and solve current challenges and situations.
We should strive to become
better examples for the younger generation to follow.
For example, with the
ongoing climate crisis, it's crucial to reduce our habit of carelessly dismiss
scientifically proven information and mounting evidence that suggests something
is wrong in the world's climate, and humanity plays a significant role in this
issue.
While the future
technically belongs to children, they don't yet have the conscious planning and
initiative to shape it.
It seems that adults in
their live are mainly complacent about what happens after they're gone, while enjoying
comfort and indulgence.
We should not forget that unresolved problems today can turn into tragedies tomorrow.
At the same time, it's
neither ideal nor desirable to turn these problems into present tragedies.
Therefore, we must carefully consider how we act in the present to ensure a equally comfortable and prosperous future for our children.
Today we know that the future do not belong to the children is merely their inheritance, not their responsibility.
