Mother knows best

A mother knows her offspring more than anybody. She knows her child's dispositions and predispositions. She can't be wrong about her child's nature but how this child would become or would choose to be as an adult is his doing.

Raising a child into this modern world is perplexing. The needs are no longer simple. The values they will be exposed to are very materialistic. There is progress and yet there's decay. 

Now they just tell you to be happy. To do what makes you happy. Isn't that scary? How about some advocacy that will strengthen the adversity quotient? 

A person who seeks his own happiness must at first learn the value of commitment, resilience, devotion, discipline. 

I hope that we protect every child from the notion of entitlement without responsibiliy, of gratification without the wait, of health over vice.., by first showing them how.
