 these children are paying the price for what the elders in their societies are doing. And if you ask, why should they pay that price? It is because every human being has this much of suffering they have to suffer in a lifetime. Some suffer that in their childhood, and others suffer that in their adulthood, and others suffer that in their old age. If a person and a society is kind of balanced out, then that suffering is spread across an entire lifetime. So it is not experienced extremely at a given age. In a society where the adult population is attracting this to that extent, the suffering for those children happens in their childhood. They will suffer less as they grow older and in their adulthood. There's only that much suffering that each human being undergoes. It's just spread out in different ways.
