The world

Kids -- we asked ourselves those same questions, in great seriousness, about 23 years ago -- my son is now about your age. We asked those same questions again about 15 years ago, now my daughter is 14 years old. I like kids! They make life worth living!
I spent most of my adult life working to support a family, that done and quite satisfactorily, I look to the world. It is not easy to fly halfway across the word, 5 or 6 times per year, it is not easy dealing with Chinese methodology, it is not easy learning this dang language, it is not easy, helping the world is not easy; if it was easy, it would have already been done.
Heck, life is not easy: but to release oneself from the burden of the beast!
With your studies in history and English, I think you are preparing yourself to take on the world! The world needs you, the world needs your children!
It is the world of our family, friends, neighbors and all the living creatures, great and small! We cannot afford to question whether our effort is worthwhile, we can only afford to hope that we can make a difference.
For a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful world!
