I love these words: “leaving this world a better place for ours and others is why I’m here…”. A statement of purpose beyond consuming as much as I can before I die. Can I steal them?
I really don’t like the word “liberal” because it is always used out of context as the opposite of “conservative.” Its not. Liberal governance accepts personal liberty as a pre-condition, which is a core conservative principle. Most don’t understand that both things are true. You seem to.
My views on “Greatest Generation” may be overly generous, but they are well-founded in experience. I started work in factories in 1976, when leadership and front line management was dominated by that generation. They were more serious than us, less afraid of hard things, more demanding and less forgiving of each other.
I think both world wars, and the subsequent cino-genocide, were consequences of academic overreach to design society in an image. Didn’t work. Won’t work. But we’re getting ready to try it again.
Planting trees is always a good idea, and creating more to give is undoubtedly positive.
Your common sense writing is spot-on; we owe them everything for their selfless sacrifice.
And leaving this world a better place for ours and others is still why I am here, of this I am sure.
