“We can’t control the future and we may not even have much of a right to try.”
A thoughtful statement.
But...
If we don’t have “a right to try” to control our future, what DO we have?
I, for one, totally disagree.
We -DO- have “the right” to at least TRY to “control our future”.
Until YOU become willing to accept that which I already accept, the future will not — and can NEVER BE - yours.
Yeah, I agree that we have a right to control our future, but I probably won’t be around in thirty years and what decisions folks make then will be their business and not mine. They’ll fight just like we do.
I’ll go even further than that. We not only have the right but the obligation to our posterity.
