I recently came across a quote g does nothing happens suddenly and even the sun when it is rising does so slowly. There are those persons who will also note that when thing happens suddenly, it quite often result in destruction. The whole idea however is that the natural order and sequence is for things to happen over a process of time and also that adequate preparation be made to deal with results.
There are reasons why the young are groomed to take their place in the world and society. In the animal kingdom there are some species that the mother teach the young to hunt because the survival of the young will depend on their ability to hunt when on their own. In a similar way some mothers among the birds teach the fledglings to fly. It is obvious that not all skills comes naturally or as a result of observing but some skills must be taught by the experienced to the novices.
Parents are presently under so much pressure to survive economically that there is not enough time to devote to the emotional and spiritual well being of their children. This has brought about too many children who are being deprived of childhood. As early as the laws of the land permits, there are many children who are forced to work for their economic survival by their parents. As far as parenting goes those children are told they are unwelcome guest in the house by their parents and that it will be a happy day when they leave. This has resulted in the early disconnect by parents and children where neither care about the other.
The great things about this is the early sense of independence fostered by these children and the making of important decisions without the input or consultation of the parents.
One of the more interesting things in life is the knowledge that children are extensions of their parents. There are some things that children would have learned from their parents before they became conscious of the fact. There are also too many children that never learned coping skills from their parents. one of the result of this is that there are too many persons with tremendous potential and ability who are not exerting enough effort to bring about change in their lives.
Our world have always been populated by those who are told that they are better than others and those who have been assigned lower stations in life. Violence is used to enforce the notion that no attempt should be made to rise higher that their assigned status.
While it may be true that nothing in life happens suddenly it is never to late to begin to make something begin to happen. We live in a world of endless possibilities and each man has the experiences that he gained in the past at his disposal. It has always been believed that time must be in your favor to get things done. The young have time to learn and to prepare for the day when they must take their place as the old. The old have had a lifetime of experience and life have been preparing the old for the present. It is not being bothered about something happening suddenly but making use of all the time that life has granted up to the present.
Next week we enter the second half of 2016 and now will be a good time to audit the first half of the year. At the same time it is useless to worry over what had not been done but now is a good time to begin or continue working with the expectation of bringing about changes.
