We teach our kids
to have a smaller
phone
a faster car
a bigger home
We teach our kids
to take what
they can
Never mind
if you
stomp on
plant
animal or
man
Little
do we know
the devastating
result
will be that
human life
on Earth
will grind to
an abrupt halt

Wonderful! So true. All want,want,want… it doesn’t matter the cost to the planet or pockets. Then children and adults too want the next toy or electronic gadgets with no idea how much raw value material has gone into making it.

That’s so simple yet explaining the intense future… We better teach our next generation more about living beings than technology…

Love this Kait!!!! My gang is playing in the sunshine now while I relish in their simple joy. I’m glad that, though they are big on their screens, they love the sun more. ❤️

Nothing like the outdoors for kids. Jay was the same, but had a huge interest in bugs and animals. He would sit for ages watching a Praying Mantis and catch flies to feed them, and spiders! Putting the fly in the web and waiting for the spider to do its thing! He protects the environment now, so it can’t be a bad thing! 😁 Love the joy you are feeling in the simple beauty of your clan, it’s a beautiful thing 😊

We always teach kids to be rich when in reality, they should be taught to be happy. Happiness is the most important thing in a person’s life.
How do you write so prolifically?? I’m in awe! 🙂

I think this ugly behaviour helps spawn beautiful people. For there are those few that when they see such horrid things are motivated to be the polar opposite. From the dirt do flowers grow 🙂
