Your kids should come to PM and study the heretics as well as the saints to obtain true enlightenment, then they would have more ammunition against your arguments. They probably won't though unless they happen to like drinking from the Ensure XP trough that you love

You are generalizing this argument into all arguments and thus not deciding this issue on its merits. You cast this as an argument from older vs younger to create a false dichotomy. You obviously did not click my clink where the prefigurative age is described as an era when the old can (ALSO; IN ADDITION TO YOUNG FROM OLD) benefit from the young.

I am not asking for anything unearned, just for the contemplation (that means serious consideration) of the marginalization going on here of younger monks and what can be done about it.
