Grandfather's Tripartite Resolutions and Suggestions

"...Dishonesty breeds uncertainty..."

Grandfather's Tripartite Resolutions and Suggestions

The New Year is always a time for considerations and resolutions
A moment to rededicate oneself to the ideals and causes one holds dear

His mystified grandson sought insights into the sticky bugs and snags
Holding the world hostage in this so-called generation of information

"Grandpa, what are the solutions to the problems facing the world today?"
"Grandson, you're skipping a crucial step: the identification of those snags"

"Grandpa, I'm talking of climate change, poverty, inequality and conflicts"
"Grandson, the greatest challenge facing humanity is human exploitation"

He added, "Dishonesty breeds uncertainty. The only certainty in all this fracas
is uncertainty itself. Let's walk our talk and tackle politics, economics and religion first."
