    From a pragmatic point of view?

    “In a time of dragons, raise dragon slayers.”

    Those fighting for a better future now will get old. Thankfully, so will those seemingly-immortal bastards ruining that future.

    We need future generations, educated and supported and prepared to take up the mantle.

    As Bruce Lee put it: “Do not pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength to overcome a difficult one.”

    We need to come back around to the idea that we are here for a bigger purpose than to be comfortable and happily wither, as even if when we are victorious, someone needs to maintain the solemn responsibility to keep evil at bay, because it will try again.

    We all want our children to be happy and healthy and safe. But we also must prepare them to bear the same responsibility we do. Part of resistance and war against the principalities and powers and forces of darkness in this world, is to make sure righteous ideals live on.
