Hello there my trust webers.
It's nice to know that you have logged-on. I hope my previous entry made
you to stop and think about what I said. Most people know how our world
functions, but just accepts it for what it is. So many things could
be avoided if only more people would act. But we have so much contraversy
among ourselves, that we don't want to get involved. One example
is the discipline of our children. If someone is seen spanking their
child, (and I don't mean beating), all that has to be done is for the child
or someone else to call a hot line and the parent gets arrested for child
abuse. If the parent elects to ground or take away a priveledge of
the child, the child either runs away or stands up to the parent, this
in turn leaves the parent helpless. Children today run the parents
because they feel they are grown up or mature and they should be able to
do what they want to do. Do we blame the parents because their children
are unruly? No, we should place blame on the input that goes into
our children. Music, movies, actions around them. There is
no way to filter what our children hear or see. Children see this
or hear this or watch their friends and don't want to be an odd ball.
We are in an era of children wanting to take a stand and not be suppressed.
They want to be heard and should be. It is them that are our future.
They need guidance and understanding in a positive way.
They are not looking to be dominated,
only understood. We as parents want to be listened to, but what we
must understand is that we no longer live in a world of our time.
Time has changed and so must we. We must offer them advice whether
they accept it or not. We can't dictate to them what we want for
them. The choice is theirs not ours. If we communicate with
them on an equal level, children will listen and not rebel. They
only want to be heard.
We are trapped with the conception
that we are the parent and we are the boss. That is times past as
we now see. The difference that determines the future begins with
the understanding of the parent. Instead of trying to be the parent,
start by being a friend. We have so much pain around us in the world
today. People want to lose weight because they don't look as good
as the next or they get breast implants or lip jobs or face lifts to keep
from looking aged. They want attention or don't want to be made fun
of. It is truly sad that we have those who think they're better than
the next, so to keep up we change to please them. But the fact that
we over-look is; they breathe the same as we do and eventually they too
will perish like the next. There is nothing wrong with who we are
or what we look like. We are all beautiful human beings the way we
are.
It shouldn't matter at all what
someone thinks about you. It is them that needs to change.
You are loved just the way you are. If you get larger breasts or
fuller lips or plastic surgery that makes you look younger,
then it's not you as a person that
gets the attention, but the body that was created by man. Can man
create the soul? Be who you are, not what the next is. The
greatest thing that you can give to yourself is not in
the hands of man, but within yourself.
Get to know yourself and you may be surprized to find that you are like
no one else.
Well, I hope you'll come again.
I leave you with a few of my poems. Until next time may joy fill
your heart, understanding fill your mind and peace fill your life.
Sincerely,
Carman
