That someone could care about issues that don't directly affect them individually, I mean? Why do you have to make elaborate speculations of someone's motives for professing to care about the future? He has children, for one thing, and even if he didn't he would still care about the future because he is a caring human being. So many people have a cold and lonely existence because they can't bring themselves to care about what doesn't directly affect them. I understand that it's scary, but trying to keep that urge to care alive is part of remaining a whole person, isn't it?
