A program

Picture a program.
A program that can program itself.
A program that can program itself to be better.

We can't make this program.
We can't make anything greater than ourselves.
If we made something great then we are great for creating it.

In this sense we are inferior to our ancestors and our descendants are inferior to us.
But is that true?
Can parents give birth to something better than themselves?
Yes.

Because a child takes greatness from two.
I don't care who you are.
Everyone has a father and a mother.
Even if they have passed away, or you never knew them, you came from two people.

This is why our descendants will be greater than us.
Our ancestors came together to bring forth the present-day people.
We will come together to bring forth our descendants.

Take the wisdom from the past and use it.
Because that is how great nations become great.

We don't have to start over each generation.
We can build on the foundation of the past.
