But parents can only pass on so much knowledge/preparation to their off-spring based on their own experience. Survival/ moneymaking and display may have been their struggle and goal so that leaves a grand gap in the arts and culture. I am second-generation and was first to get a college degree and advanced studies but it was pretty low on the totem pole of family or marital values. I passed/am passing more on to my children and grandchildren but am still conscious of being unfinished in several areas. I was thinking of this last night listening/watching a symphony- perhaps the greatest example around for cooperation. A program on the construction of a Steinway followed- amazing- and I play the piano- who knew??? Yet, the skilled craftsmen that build these beauties are fading away in our robot/mechanical world.
