Chapter 2: The Great Hope of Tomorrow

Long after our last breath, a generation yet to live will look back into this hour. Hurry up! Catch my hand, and together we will rush back to the very place I’ve been spending so much of my time lately. Mentally, I’m asking you to imagine that we’ve been translated into the future. As you look around at the people, you can’t avoid the exactness in their genetic features with yours, and you’re overtaken with the reality that these are your descendants. For ten seconds, the sheer awe of this mystifying experience leaves you panting. Tingling all over, you wipe your eyes to make sure you don’t miss anything… your curiosity has never been this out of control!

Not knowing how much longer this will last, you’re mind is engulfed with a few startling curiosities. Right now, you must know, “What kind of world are my precious babies living in? Is it a better world, marinated in love and peace, or an unstable one steeped in hatred and deep turmoil? Are they smiling or frowning; laughing or crying; living or dying?” As they look back over their tiny little shoulders at you and me, are they gazing with gratitude or glaring in bitterness? Who are they admiring for their advantages? Where are they pointing the finger for their privations? Have you ever given yourself a few hours to eyeball our future in this sort of way?

One thing is for sure. Your name may never find its way into their history books, but every slightest move you and I make during our short span of time here on earth is creating the world of tomorrow. Clearly, the cowardly bystanders are never held in remembrance. History consistently honors those selfless pioneers who voluntarily forward vast segments of their personal pleasure into their future… the heroes who live and labor for dreams they never even realize in their life span! These are the real champions of our civilization.
