Children

Another day passes by, which makes it that much closer to the day of departure back to "Home Sweet Home"... Just like any other day, life goes on... but just with a little more homework to attend...
Children... The leaders of tomorrow... The next generation... Inventors, authors, artists, technicians, and teachers of the future... Children... To some, they are known as cute, cuddly, ravishing and maybe even seductive to some point... However, to the rest of us, children are like wearisome music... Listening to it more than once can be calamitous.. In other words, some people find children to be antagonists... Despite all the likes and dislikes... It remains a fact, although not realized, children hold our future world in the tip of their fingers...
In the end, it all comes down to the way children are raised... Children are like fragile, delicate, feeble, flowers just waiting to bloom... Unlike any other time, childhood is a stage of a mortal on the verge of knowledge... They are like wild animals just waiting to be unleashed and to attain consciousness... Being a parent isn't as easy as what most people expect... All the preasure are weighted on their shoulders... The future well-being of the world and community all depends on the raising of their children...Offering a lot of freedom and advantages could cause a child to be pampered and spoilt...or anarchistic, contumatious and rebellious... However, at the same time, punishing and being harsh on a child could cause a child to feel rejected, alienated or somewhat deserted by the ones they love most...
Don't children deserve freedom of choice? Should chidren be disciplined for the right reasons? Should parents be relatively harsh on children at times of desperation? Well, the answer is yes to all... but the real question is " TO WHAT EXTEND???"
