i'm sorry your world is so black and white - it must be a very dull place
I'm sorry your children and their children to follow and their children to follow, etc. have to reinvent the ethical wheel, constructing it piece by piece for their own lives instead of learning from absolute wisdom passed down from previous generations. Think of it: You've passed down no convictions, no absolutes, no values, no tenets, nothing except a few guidelines to give them a head start in life. Instead, you've left it up to them to figure out everything, telling them: "Sorry, my own legacy is for you to start from scratch like I did."
