Are we heading toward utopia?
I have wondered recently why we have children in our 20-30's, which is a time when we struggle most with our own identity and life issues. Why do our children have to get the brunt of our frustration and struggles? Why are they stuck in our influence at a time when our annoyances and idiosyncrasies are overly pronounced?
Is it not at this time in our children's lives that they will take on those influences and struggles? And then do they not carry on the same to pass on to their children? What is the purpose of passing on down the struggles and influences that our parents have passed on to us? Why do we as adults have to wait until our 30-and 40's to come to terms with our life to settle down and define our ideology? (exceptions excluded of course)
First of all, if our children did not struggle with our influence, what would they struggle with? Can a generation address self issues at such an early age that it would no longer be passed to the next generation? If their struggles had already been addressed what would they proceed on toward? What could they accomplish? It appears that generations do address some issues, specifically social ones that reposition society but then those issues seem to bring an abundance more issues. Is that an essence of life? Are we meant to know struggles, obstacles and seek to overcome them? Or are generations on a continuous road to utopia? And hasn't that been discussed before?
Perhaps we will never seek utopia, but if we were to address these struggles (rooted in lies of course) would we be a people that comes closer to truth and The Truth (Jesus)?
