Maybe its because I had a catholic upbringing until highschool, but I remember being taught even as a kid that "yeah so you should totally be nice to people, and children are the future."
I dunno. I always saw the "children are the future" mentality as sort of a "no shit, they're younger, it's in the name" type thing. But thinking about it now? I haven't seen anything like respecting elders or kids in common discourse in like.....ages. Granted I'm in my mid 30s now and pay attention to different things than I did when I was young, but still.
I wish "be nice" was a thing that would be taken more seriously. I hold myself accountable too, I can be a crotchety bastard sometimes, and get disappointed in myself upon reflection.
Sorry for the ramble, taking a brain break from some freelancing qualification test.
I think one of the few good lines from the Simpsons after Lindsay Naegle was introduced was "Children are the future. TODAY belongs to ME."
