To my daughters: Don’t forgive my generation for failing you and the planet

https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/7/30/to-my-daughters-dont-forgive-my-generation-for-failing-you-and-the-planet

> As the world burns, I’ve to admit to my two young daughters the guilt I share for failing to save our planet, our home.

>My generation has failed – miserably.

>We have chosen greed over generosity. We have wallowed in consumption over temperance. We have preferred indulgence over sacrifice. We consider ignorance a virtue rather than admit our stupidity. We have taken comfort in myopia rather than peer beyond the troubling horizon.

>We have behaved irresponsibly – not by chance, but with wanton neglect and a cavalier disregard for the grievous harm and irreparable damage we have caused to a planet and a younger generation who deserve a better, more hopeful fate.

I'd completly agree with the author, which then begs the question, why bother with actions that try and save it, what he's describing is a civilisation that's repellent, is this where we live, why does he want his daughters to grow up in that ? Perhaps too big a question to ponder answering here.
