Dear Ancestors,
I'm afraid, we, your progenies do not resemble you. We do not exhibit the same merit nor principles. The very substratums of our ancient culture are now shuned. Our women, your daughters, are no longer protected. They are often met with contempt and pyschologically coerced to accept a standard of beauty that falls quite pale in comparsion to their natural state. Our men, your sons, reliquinshed their honor, integrity, and brotherhood for a life of self infliction and ignorance. No more do our men venerate the givers of life. In fact, the mothers of our once great civilization often trek in protest of inequality amongst men. The ways of the ancient world are no more, fraudulence and duplicity are rife. A new culture has emerged, a culture that eshews from truth. A religion of disonance, all in alignment with the plight of our impaired cognition. Such a perversed culture we embrace. We commemorate ourselves in the our lowest state with many relegating appellations that denote the mark of an perpetual inculcation we fail to acknowledge. We, the descendants of an archetypal society so many have failed to emulate, are now desolated beings with no purpose. A people with no pride. I do not bring news of this with joy. It would be quite fortunate if this wasn't true, however we are nothing like you.
Sincerely, your descendant
