...And How About the Kids?


Family problems, peer influence, wars, pollution, crimes and money are some of the contributing factors that children are facing that leads them to a bleak future. And as these disturbances in our home, earth, continues, children’s health. Education, security and lives are disturbed.

Life is a game is what they say. You make the best of it as you frolic with life. But most of the people do not actually comprehend what does sentences mean. For them, it means having what they want, doing what they love and commanding whenever, whatever and wherever they need just for the sake of leisure amusement, interest, fun or what they call “ the best of life” they do not think about the consequences of their action. They do not think twice on who will be affected.

And how about the kids? They are prone to follow the disgraceful movements of the people around them due to their delicate minds. Most people around the society bring bad influence to the children. Take a look around… people smoking, using wicked or bad words, hurting people, drinking heavy alcohols, disobedient to the laws, killing fellowmen, stealing what is not theirs, loitering here and there and vandalizing the walls. Haven’t these people paused for a while to reflect on what they have done? When will they realize that what they are doing is slowly killing the dignity and the true meaning of man? When will they bring to an end ?… when the youngster set forth and does what they do?

I guess for some it is okay that the children will follow their mischievous acts. Anyways, everyone will die and they cannot enjoy the benefits of peace and harmony forever. They prefer to enjoy the benefits of evil which can be easily achieved that is totally temporary. What they see is only the first side of reality. They never took time to turn to another page and discover another truth about reality. People like them never grow.

How about for those who still continue doing such disgracefulness acts but do not want the children to follow/ when will they stop? When the children will follow what they did? They may say it can be avoided through discipline. Discipline? Let me ask them this: “are you disciplined enough to discipline the children”? I guess so… they are not! They do not know that they are very influential. What may come, comes. What may happen , happens. When nature does it, they cannot stop it but they can prevent it. People like them never learn.

To all those who are performing the mission of our heavenly King, continue! Continue to model and shape the future of the children. Pick up the pieces of the missing parts of the puzzle that has ruined lots of lives. They are less but indeed, they are powerful and great.

To those who make this world an awful, unpleasant and cruel place to live in, there is always a room for a change. The children’s futures are in their hands. Work right, change now, do while there is still time, who knows, tomorrow’s world might be bleak. Think about the kids.
