How about what you owe the next generation? As a society or as parents? Or owe humanity? Of course, if good sense would make people give willingly and with joy, it woudl be so much better. But Mankind seens to be rather lazy and short-sighted, occasionally. What I try to say, is that probably that sense of "owing" is the only thing that keeps things running. And for my taste, some people (and I am talking about employed, wealthy people) seem to forget that they aren't the only ones who live on this earth. I think THEY would need to remeber that wealth is an obligation to support others...
