After reading this idea I feel so sorry. It is certainly that I will take the opposite one. Maybe there are two kinds of people who take this idea. Some of them who take this idea may think that we should solve the problem we face now first and then get more experience to do the research for our future generations. So money should be spent more on the immediate, existing social problem! Others may just want to live a better life for themselves without caring about the offspring. They will waste a lot of money now and leave little money for the descendant.
To my opinion it is a venial fault if you take the former idea. First I have to admit that to solve the problem we face immediately is very important .To get a better life and live comfortably is a hope of all of us. But take the petrol problem as a example, almost everyone who owns a car worries about the price increasing of gasoline ,and wakes up from the dream that going into a gas station seeing "gas off" . To solve it ,there are two ways: increasing the exploitation in middle east, Russia and Indonesia, or finding out a new form of energy to replace it. Maybe you want the governments take the first way, because it will solve the problem immediately while finding a substitute needs a lot of money and have little chance to success. Let us see how do these governments deal with this problem. As the petrol exporting countries ,the member of OPEC refuse to increase the output, without caring about the crazy increasing price in New York market, because they know that if they eat too much today, their sons will be hungry tomorrow. As the petrol importing countries, everyone knows the petrol is less and less in the earth ,and if we take it today how about our descendents. So every country in the world spend a lot of money to find the new kind of energy. Today ,as we have already seen, people turn sunlight into energy, change nuclear weapon into nuclear power station . I believe ,as we try, we will solve the problem one day. So, you see, it is really not a waste of money to do the research for our descendent comparing to spent it today.
Then we turn to the second idea. If you just want to live for yourself ,you miss the true means to live. When ask why to live, why should a country exist? The greats answer: the obligation. Mao Zedong, former chairman of China ,have explain the relationship between old and young, which is just the same as the relationship between today and tomorrow, ourselvs and our descendents. He said, "young man you are just like the sun of 8 or 9 o'clock, the world is belong to me and you, but at last it belongs to you!" We can learn a historical obligation from his words, then we know why Teutonic nation can be the one of most excellent nation in the world, why some countries grow stronger and stronger while others decay. A country ,who pays more attention on education, environment problems and new technologies ,will be stronger; a folk who pay more attention on maintaining their culture ,taking care of their descendent will be more active; and the man who take the obligation and can deal with the relationship between today and tomorrow appropriately can have more creativity.
After all, where and when to spend our money is a problem that everyone of us have to face. One word: obligation! |
