"the death of the poor"

The death of the poor

"it's death that comforts us, alas! and makes us live ;

It is the goal of life ; it is the only hope

Which, like an elixir, makes us inebriate

And gives us the courage to march until evening" 

Charles Baudelaire 

It was always with a constant belief in a better world that our predecessors battled on a daily basis. 

Death as a final goal of liberation served as fuel for fast and consolidated labour strength. 

However this past is mortgaged regarding the future. 

In the past labour made the man, honest work, sun to sun man work served a higher purpose so that the children and grandchildren would have a better and more worthy life. 

And what are we doing with these long builded tools that have been passed on from generation to generation? 

What are the values that we currently transmit our children? 

What gives us now "courage to march until evening"?
