No doubt each generation

No doubt each generation feels itself wiser than the one before and remembering how I regarded my parents has made me charitable to the may evidences of this in my own family. I have received much correction at their hands and have taken it. I knew they too would learn. The stern old world has pounded many lessons into proud young hearts, and so the old play goes on. Only the players change.
