“Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.” -Albert Einstein
Children inherit our mistakes, our wars and the backlash of our greed. The mistakes of history are never truly seen until the reach the children of future generations. Often I hear people say, “but it doesn't affect me.” or “It won't effect my children.”, when it comes to so many global issues, such as the environment, poverty, modern slavery and so forth. The truth of the matter is these ‘global’ issues affect us all and it is the children of the future who will suffer the consequences of our mistakes or our turning a blind eye. Let us remember that the future is in our hands and our values and our actions is what marks the future, so dare we leave it scared or do we leave it in hope for a better tomorrow, the choose is ours, the price is the children's!
