X..... >>So drop acid kiddies, tune in, turn on, and drop out with Brother Smart. Try hard drugs, screwing without protection, look at the sun, hitchhike, drive drunk, talk to strangers, let them give you rides in their cars, go see their puppies, take the candy too- these are ALL things I do NOT want my children to do even once. What EXACTLY are you advocating? >>>>Telling a child NOT to take risks because of something YOU or someone else judges is like telling a child not to live. For taking risks is what real living and being is all about.>>>> >>You are nuts. I hope your kids survive their adolescence.>> I take that as a compliment and forgive you. Risk is the most moral of paths. A lack of appreciation for the value of risk creates fear, frustration and anger which tends to open doors to the negative cycle of cynicism, blame and experimentation. Very simple X. Just look around you. Stop creating fear. Start embracing risk which mirrors the joy and love of life. The 60's took a detour to the dead end of cynicism, blame and experimentation. It may have looked like risk, but it wasn't. If you act and yet blame others for failing that's not risk. That's an example of having your cake and eating it too. Taking ownership of our energy and actions is what I'm talking about. When people do this a funny thing happens. They learn to look at life from a more positive perspective. Why? For they've left this "blaming others" rap behind. The more we risk and take responsibility the more we embrace the present moment the more energy we have to share with others. It's an upward spiral that keeps expanding. Try it. Peace. .
