Old Man Warner

To give up the lottery or not? The question that was raised in the northern village. This suggestion was proposed by the younger folks of the northern village. The Lottery principle is based on their ancestor's way of controlling things back in those times (seven decades ago?) The more recent generations continues to follow this principle of stoning. In our current society, winning the lottery results in happiness. As for "The Lottery" society, whoever "wins" gets stoned to death. For the younger people in our society, they play as an inheritor. The torch is passed down, and new ideas will be born. Using previous wisdom to develop into stronger ones is a key action for the younger people. Again, this is the passing down of the torch. In order for society to progress, advances in every aspect will be required. If everything were to remain the same throughout time, we would basically be living in a "world without time and clocks." We will never know when to continue. When Old Man Warner says "listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them," he is referring to the younger generations taking over. There is the belief that each newer generation is getting worse and cannot be trusted. However, that is not true. The younger folks wants change, that is all. Let their ideas fly out and be as free as the clouds. The newer generations will always surpass the older ones, thus the proposal of giving up the lottery, by the will-be inheritors.
