 Six major concepts try to steer our way of life so as to unite the present with the past and future and make us collaborate
with one another.
Solidarity is in fact the key to start the new way of life. Past generations and generations to come need to respect each
other and the planet, and care for the community of life. One should never benefit from something now, which will eventually
have a problematic effect on future generations. A practical example is that of genetic engineering. This technology opens up a
new dimension for the world. It makes alteration of DNA possible. The immediate effects are very positive as they, for example,
can make a plant produce more seeds and furthermore, no pests will feed on them. Yet, the downside to all these will only be seen
in the future. Once the structure of DNA is altered, it would be impossible to change. Another negative impact that future beings
will face is the fracture of feeding cycle. Therefore, it is essential for all to protect one another, as all generations are interrelated
which means that whatever happens today speaks about the relationship of the present with past and future generations.
