There's excusable folly in youth, as long as you take care to preserve your life..there are lessons learned to prepare you for the bridge you must cross ahead, the wise hear the voice of wisdom and speak knowledge even before they fall into old age.
But why are you unprepared? How should I look on my supposed successors favorably when you're all in shambles? I'm a diseased man yet I still have more strength and power than you...why is this? Why are you stuck in a state of apathy? If I have seven goats and three sheep, I would rid myself of the goats at a loss to give myself the peace of mind of having the sheep who listen and follow instead of the stubborn goats.
We are willing to part with a majority of this generation and keep the sheep, the children which you will beget. The question is whether or not you will continue to be a goat or be as sheep to be led through the calamities that will come.
