(versus a “year long mating season”!)
Even the most ignorant animals have a certain “mating” period. Perhaps the “human animal” is the only one in the kingdom that seems to have a year-long mating season. Naturally there are results!!
“Parenthood” indicates that mating has brought about “natural results” .… “babies” or “children”.
What are the “responsibilities” of the parents?
Do the “parents” feel any responsibility for this “result”?
Did the parents “envision” this result in the beginning? If not, why not?
Does this “biological act” require “thought” before..?
I guess, like most everything else, it’s a matter of where you come from. Too bad!… The results seem permanent!
From “where” are the answers to these questions supposed to come?
“Who” is responsible for seeing that the information is available?
“To whom” is the information available? …. “Who” decides?
How much information is adequate? … “Who” decides?
I guess, like most everything else, it’s a matter of where you come from. Too bad!… The results seem permanent!
And just suppose you don’t care!!!
Suppose you’re not interested?
Then what???
Who pays for what?
What are the consequences….. cheap labor … temporary enjoyment … the family name … etc.?
(I guess, like most everything else, it’s a matter of where you come from…. Too bad!… The results seem permanent!)
Somebody better pay attention to answering these questions! The results of “no discussion” is worldwide problems. Hunger, violence, terror, disrespect, love, happiness, and more are the results of a “no discussion” policy. This is too difficult a subject, this is too contentious, this is too awkward, this is too politically incorrect not to “discuss”!
One can, at the very least, discuss these questions with the persons who are nearest to you. Avoiding these conversations insures a poor outcome! And what if these “discussions’ are not heeded to? Well, at least you can say “I contributed as best as I could”. However, there is no excuse for not “trying”! Sure there will be different views. But not having “any” views is a sin!
Should I be concerned with those that have a completely different view of the answers to these many questions. As long as their views don’t affect the results to my existence I guess I have “no say”. But when I am affected …. I certainly can express myself!
I can offer my support or reject my support. If I am affected, I can even fight for my views. But “first” I must define and understand what my views are and what the other parties’ views are. If there is no understanding, there can be no successful accommodation!
So what do you say to your teenagers? …. Your students? ….Your “babies”?
This written conversation would be a good place to start!! …..What do you think is important?
