"Son of man, behold the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision that he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.'This reminds me of King Hezekiah, after he was told that his kingdom would be given over to Babylon, but after he died. He was content with that, because in his own lifetime things would be good. What happened to future generations didn't concern him.
Why is that OK, that we don't worry about our descendant's problems? Some would apply that lesson to the environment; I think of the national debt. But why is it that once we know our lives will be OK, we don't worry as much about the future impact of our decisions?
