Make Your Child A Crow
Yesterday I happened to hear a talk of a retired professor regarding the current generation.
He was giving a simile too. The crow perceives with its sense of vision and acts accordingly, while the crane acts only when it gets a knock or else it always sleeps with one leg up. So he was saying, the current generation can be similarised with the crane. This generation is so into television, computers, video games, that they do not know that there is a world out there. Then how are the going to fare in life, when the grow up?
True, they would eventually become failures in life. They would not be able to sustain even small shocks in life. So try to help them mingle with people, family, friends. If they are unwilling, just take them out for a walk regularly. So that they get to break the entangled craving of addiction to the machine.
So parents, prepare your child to be a crow, who is vigilant and not a crane, who is always in its own cocoon.
See you tomorrow.
Until then, take care. Bye
