In the first generation truth is a conviction.
- Those who hold that conviction, hold it dearly.
- They do not know the meaning of compromise.
- They are willing to die for what they believe to be true.
In the second generation the conviction becomes a belief.
- Sons hold to the truths they have been taught by their fathers,
- and defend their beliefs in discussion and debate.
- However the keen edge of conviction has been blunted,
- and adherence to a body of beliefs inherited from the fathers is not so much a passion as a persuasion.
In the third generation the belief becomes an opinion.
- By then some members of the movement are willing to trade in their opinions.
- They feel it is time for a change.
- They start talking about renewal,
- but they may look to the world for ideas.
