Let us communicate.

Why don't we sit around the fire telling the tales of our families while our village/town lies in the dark of night?
Why don't we walk miles to get grain and seed for our meals, while carrying trade goods of our own on our backs anymore?

So many today point at others trying different things without a care in the world of how incredibly foolish they look. They also look for like-minded folk to share their passions with, in an attempt to incite emotions, perhaps even revolution... once again, why not then get on the wagon with the horse that hasn't the proper shoes fitted for the duress of the trip about to take, and weight about to haul, and get-on-up to town right quick to get supplies? Yeah, that's what I thought, it's easy to point the finger and talk without actually having to think about what one says.

The current mindless argument being: children awarded or rewarded for all activities no matter how mundane. The previous, raising children with respect, rather than with fear. The curious saying: "to each their own" comes to mind. Once upon a time children hunted or helped with the fur and fields. Later, children went to school, attend to family matters, to include the family business. Time passed and children are taught to make a good life for themselves by way of studying. Through and through life changes with the times around it, the advent of machinery and technological booms make for the obsolescence of what was once important incredibly real.

I cannot teach my child the rules of the road asking him to share the roads with horse buggies or coaches, no, I have to teach him about the importance of safety in the age of self-driven vehicles. Why then can't the morality of humanity switch, grow, morph, and be more civilized? I too understand that to a person of low values, morals, and ethics, this is a subject very hard to comprehend.

Let us not focus on facts, studies, or propaganda, let us instead use an old lesson... let us communicate.
