How is it possible to cause a man or woman to have the same concern for a generation five times removed as that man or woman has for their own progeny?
I suspect it is not possible, but it does seem to me to be necessary to accomplish the task of stewardship.
The questions I would like to ask everyone are:
Do you agree that the acceptance of stewardship responsibility for this planet is vitally important?
Do you have a different idea whereby this stewardship might develop?

"Selfishness and greed are fundamental components of human nature."
This has to be the running meritocracy nowadays to outlive and outwit men.
And it is lamenting BUT it's a fact striking over every bodies faces.
On the subject of stewardship, YES it is vitally important in the highest regard BUT the possibility to accomplish the task of stewardship is UNSURE...
It is pretty hard to explain but I'll try to share my view. On this regard, developing stewardship on one's self in wide array (i mean to all the people of Earth) is like saying, "YOU ALL should read the Bible to able to understand the concept of STEWARDSHIP", right? And then what? Probability is that YOU cannot convince other people to believe in the stewardship neither read the Bible.
So the only positive and possible thing to do is you start yourself, share the concept to others who can understand. Others will and might share that to other as well. YOU can create a networking for this type of message you want to reach on others.
Well, I still believe that there's still hope even though that hope is too small...
