Children and social awareness

 “Let the Children Be”

 

 

Brain washing techniques of burying souls,

All knowing as ego is passed on through

Generations, teaching children to forget…

 

To forget their dreams; their natural missions,

Causing the world chaos, and misplaced visions,

— Every minute of the day's scheduled —

Into inflexible betterment's lessons

Undoing all that is the most important.

 

Learn from the children's spirit of fearless

Dreams to speak frankly without bitterness;

Lies, — creating an atmosphere of peace, —

Letting souls to flourish, and love to grow!

I believe your philosophical point of view is very true, Carol. The song by "The Carpenters" came into my mind. "Bless the Beasts and the Children." Love, peace, and best wishes to you,

I have not had children, but I like them. And I never would tie them down. Encourage their curiosity and allow them to make mistakes.

I see parents micromanaging their children these days while they multitask. This creates two problems: the child feels tied down and unable to make intelligent decisions. And, the parent is stressed trying to do everything for the child instead of being a parent that lets his/her child be a child and learn on his/her own.
