#generation

For generations, people have come to U.S. shores to seek opportunity. It's what my grandfather did a century ago, when he came to Seattle, and worked as a houseboy just one mile from the Washington State governor's mansion that I was privileged to inhabit for eight years. ↗

Each generation should be made to bear the burden of its own wars, instead of carrying them on, at the expense of other generations. ↗

They say you can't study Kabbalah until you are at least 40 years old. You know why? You have to have experienced at least one generation making the same mistakes as the previous one. ↗

It's shortsighted not to view the education of a future generation of Americans as a priority for all Americans. ↗

I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt. ↗
