Look what I just stumbled onto... :>) Bill onaHill on Thursday July 27, 2006 at 12:21 AM EST How do we answer a child of seventeen when she asks what kind of future will there be? Perhaps I would tell her that we will know our families better. That her father should be listened to and her mother, she should obey. And to trust her friends and help them as much as possible. That she should find a passion to believe in. That she should trust her heart but use her head. Good instinct tells us which is which and I would counsel her to develop her instincts by learning what is true and what is a lie. And that a lie will trap her. I would also tell her to learn the value of silence. That if you silently listen you can hear the truth and see right action. Of course I would repeat this daily until she understood. Her being seventeen I might have to repeat myself often. I would suggest she attend the best college she could find. Preferably Berkely or MIT. Fer u wharf... Or an apprenticeship on a working farm learning organic vegetable production. I would suggest above all to find the beauty in simplicity of lifestyle and honor with friends and family. But I know that first I would have to reflect this lifesyle or she would not ever believe I knew what I was talking about. After all..... We learn from example. I guess that is up to us. we're screwed.... our example has created implosion as a distinct possibility. its up to us to find the best way out of this mess using our intellect, instinct and imagination. a lot of what we are going to lose we do not need in the first place for a happy life. simplify, organize and exercize. the rest will be easy. bill theoildrum.com
