What if instead of trying to get the younger generations to do things the way we think they should, we trusted them to make the changes they see necessary?
In a culture that is so fixated on grasping for control, it's easy to get caught up in it and try to get our children to think like we do or see the world the way that we do.

Then each generation can do a little more to make the world and humanity better places to exist.
