Even Roses Grow From the Pavement
If society is a contract, it is not a contract between the living only, but a contract that includes the dead, the living and the unborn–in short, not a contract at all, but a relation of trusteeship, in which the living have charge of the assets inherited from the dead which they in turn must pass on to those unborn. Simply to waste in the lifetime of a nation’s temporary tenants, the capital accumulated over centuries, is to breach the trust on which future generations depend.
