Faith in the younger generations

Tue., July 14, 2020

We are all from the same place, our mother’s womb. However, once we emerge from that womb our life experiences, expectations and aspirations can be very different depending on our race, religion, gender identity and where we were born on this planet.

These sometimes hidden, sometimes blatant inequalities need to be addressed. This will not be an easy task. Just recognizing and acknowledging that inequality exists is very difficult for lots of people. However, it is essential, if we are going to affect change. I am old and have little faith in my generation. I am hopeful that the young ones will show us the way. Please, pay attention to what they say and do.
