Unfortunately, in the world of our days, children pick amongst the people around them, the worst possible models. And so, many of our young's grow up and want to become Michael Jackson, or Michael Jordan... It is a tragic thing which is starting to become symptomatic for our world...
Money, women and fancy cars become the dreams of teenagers in our days. Whatever happened to the dreams of our ancestors that wanted to change the world? What happened to their ambitions, to their aspirations for enlightenment (and I am not talking here about the religious absurdities, I am talking about intellectual enlightenment) and for a society based on solid ideas, not on a super flue capitalist world...?
But this are questions without answer if we not pay attention to the reality amongst us... Children are easy to influence. So, their spirit of observation must be encouraged, their spirit of criticism must be developed so they can choose for themselves... This is the first step that we have to make towards a world free of "walking zombies" that listen carefully to every word of the football star on TV!
A small child is like a blank page, anyone can write what ever he wants on that page... A child, at a very small age, can not discern between good and evil - and for that matter, not even adults can do that every time, because in this world, we do not have black or white, we have only grey - so he is vulnerable against attacks of any kind. That's why we have to protect him... Our children need protection against all the elements that try to hypnotize them into believing lies...
Maybe all of this sounds apocalyptic, but walk on the streets, amongst the people that ravage this earth, listen to their thoughts, watch their actions, understand their philosophy and you shall understand that something needs to be done, and fast, if we are going to save our earth, thus ourselves...
We are talking here about our young's, about the new generation that comes behind and that should continue the development of our culture... And what do we find there: sportsmen that can run a hundred meters in under ten seconds but can not even write down their names... This is the tragedy of our world, and if this "status quo" perpetuates, we will face very soon a world full of analphabets... These are the facts, whatever we accept or not is our business...
But beware, because the choice you make will also affect the generations to come... So, analyze the situation and understand that power must be used wisely, otherwise it transforms into destruction...

Follow the path of the wise man and you shall win. This is the way of the water, this is Dao...
