I once asked my Sunday School class of young people what would happen to the church if everyone over 30 would suddenly disappear. They seemed a little shook up over the prospect.
Maybe we should ask that about society as a whole. We once had a generation who said, “Don’t trust anyone over thirty.” Now I wonder how things would change if those generations were to disappear. Churches would fall apart. We would soon starve to death. Most independent retailers would close down, only big box stores would be left.
There are young people who are responsible. There are older people who are shiftless. People are individuals. But if we did not have the solid performance of people over thirty life as we know it would come screeching to a halt.
The world does not belong to the young. They are usually coasting on the investment and effort of those who are not longer flexible and frisky.
