Are we socialized out of compassion, out of love, and out of genuineness? These are the ideas that have peeked my sense of interest as of late. I witness on a daily basis the success and failures of human behaviour on a variety of levels. As adults we learn to be competitive, heartless and thoughtless. As adults are we setting ourselves up for a failed future? Not only do I believe we are failing the children to whom learn and observe from us, but I feel that ultimately we are failing ourselves.
It kills me to participate in a society that uses lifestyle to guage our happiness instead of quality of life. I can only hope we continue to invest in our children. The future lies in their hands, and I hope those hands never forget to dream, to be idealistic, excersize love, respect, responsibility and compassion.
