A good proportion of the kids that I see today are very lucky kids. Lucky that they have all the food that they like eating, lucky that they have a lot of toys and gadgets, lucky that they have nice clothes, lucky that they get to go to lots of parties and holidays, just damn lucky. My kids are no different. It is only a matter of relativity……In general, the kids of this generation are just plain lucky. Can we blame them that they are born into such a lucky world? No. Can we teach them that there are a heck of a lot of children like them out there who are nowhere near lucky? Hell, yes.
I also find that the kids these days get things so easy. When they are of a certain age, they get a tricycle. Later, they get a scooter. Then, they get a bicycle. Later, a car! Should their family be wiped out one day (GOD FORBID), would this child know the first thing about fighting for survival? He gets everything so easy so how will he ever know how to work for anything? Unfortunately, unless you are born into the family of riches (and even then there is no guarantee) and never have to work a day in your life (I know people in this category, quite a few who shamelessly sit back and kick off their heels, but also many who respectfully make themselves useful to society. Actually, who am I kidding? Many? I take that back. A handful…..), chances are that at some point in your life, you may have to work. So why not then start early and begin gaining useful skills, right? What is all your riches gets pulled away right under your eyes in a flash? What do you do then? Go around begging and grovelling to close friends who suddenly turn out not to be such close friends after all?
Some people feel why work when you can sponge off others? Well, lucky you if you can sponge off others but where is your dignity? How would you ever gain any respect? There is such a thing called KARMA so before you think of sponging off others, think twice about where you might end up.
I’m going to make damn sure that my kids don’t come close to being any of those rich kids that I see frequently around me.
I’m just saying……
