Equals.

All are equal in the sight of God.

Each of the generations is equal.

Each generation has its positive and its negative characteristics.

Each generation has its virtues and its vices.

It then becomes a matter of degree.

It is a psychological fact that we condemn others in order to make ourselves feel good.

But if we see this in others it is not for us to turn the tables and condemn them.

It is up to us to forgive others.

What keeps us from forgiving?

Fear.

Fear that we won't be good anymore.

Fear that others will attack us.

Fear of being hurt.

Fear of ridicule.

Fear of condemnation.

Fear of God.

But God will not condemn us.

God will forgive.

So we must forgive each generation.

And let them live.
