This is What Goes On In My Mind.....Hope It Looks Familiar

hey
ever wonder what happened to our sense of self?
if it packed up and just left or did we just push it off some remote cliff somewhere off the coast of California.....
if it was in us. we could just get it back. it's deeper than that
we don't get taught sense of self...it's something that people say develops..but it only develops if it's been properly cultivated......
which indicates a teaching on some level or another
but you can't teach yourself how to respect yourself......thus is the problem. no body teaches children what they are worth, so they just accept society's substitutes
if you don't know it's disrespect. you don't know you need to grow
not if they disrespected themselves first.
they condition themselves to believe that is normal or acceptable unless they are taught better
if they aren't caught early enough it can lead to a life of chasing acceptance in false expressions of respect/love which is often confused with lust.
lol it just gets easier to see things once you strip them down to bare basics.....and the basic problem with us as a people is we have been taught how to seem successful versus how to be successful....we have been taught how to look good, walk good, talk good.....but not how to sustain a good life....taught by our own culture that having things = success......when success is being happy with what you have....looking successful versus defining your own success.......people fail to teach children how to be versus how to seem....seeming to be right or good without actually having right or good in your heart is simple hypocrisy....on a broader scale that defines American policy
and it sickens me how parents don't teach sons and daughters their true value but instead a relative value.....you are only valued by what you produce or create......you aren't valueable by virtue of being who you are....BIG PROBLEM
What happened to our parents? think about that for a minute.....I'm talking about the failures of that generation and how it was passed onto this one.....how they became slaves of "the life" and had no time to really raise children effectively.....we are headed for the same end if we do not stop long enough to care what our children take in.....I think about raising children because it's coming....and I do not fear it.....but too many just lay down because they lack the foundation of love and respect for self and by extent respect of others.....
teachers don't raise kids
parents do
and that's definitely what I plan on doing
both really. lol
cuz I'll be home enough so I can effectively monitor what they take in.....and make sure they get full development as people.....the wife will help when she can.....I'd understand if she's too busy and can't always be there.....but she would pitch in whenever possible for her to....she's responsible for them just like I am.
