Parents. This is where we lose our kids. For 12, 16 or 20 years we have them act out of selfishness. WHAT you say? We do NOT have them act out of love. The environments that have used us are devoid for all intents and purposes of opportunities for children to act out of love.
A friend I used to have told me that the good things about "Catholic" families was that by being so huge it forced everyone to see how they were needed and to act out of love. Well, this makes the point below, however having huge families is a sin in this world of shortages if we are talking "bearing" children. Adoption? GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BETTER YET: "AS YOU DO UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE MY FAMILY, YOU DO UNTO ME." BRING YOUR CHILD UP AS ONE, JUST ONE OF YOUR 4 BILLION OTHER CHILDREN - EXACTLY.
But to the point of this post, PARENTS, unless you want to cripple and kill your child's soul, from the time they are born:
* Place them in situations where they are needed (Blessed are the poor)
* Teach them what they, THEY discover that they need. "Mommy, why does the world have homeless? How can I make it stop? " "Well dear, let's teach you to read, and let's read up on that."
Thereby you will give them a life of SERVICE, a life lived from the heart, a life of LOVING.
Repeat.
[There is no other way.]
