I do so appreciate your incredibly well researched and well constructed guidance for your grandchildren. I find myself more educated and enlightened through the reading of your articles. My approach in steep contrast to your pragmatic one would be something along the lines of ... dear children of the future, love one another, be kind to all, don't go to sleep at night until everyone around you is warm and fed, and that includes those living without the walls of your homes, judge not, gossip not, be kind always. I guess that's why our bank accounts are also no doubt in steep contrast :)
I think of all the scenarios you have painted, I fear the elements (weather) the most.
I too have always lived in Johannesburg, and at one time when I was thinking of joining my brother and sister-in-law in Melbourne, I looked up at the African Sky Blue and decided I am a child of Africa.
I probably made the right choice because I am not emigration material.
I get disorientated if I have to move my seat in shul.
Oh Jonathan

Good morning Dr Moch
I like that word, Probabalist.

Thanks for the continued interesting letters.
