One of the greatest pleasures of every child is to feel the warmth and beauty of parenthood. That feeling that someone really cares about you and desires to see you smile is epic. There are fragile impressions of togetherness we all dreamed of and in most circumstances, NEED.
Unfortunately, this truth is not true for everybody. More sadly, the millennials are most badly hit by this absence of empathy and affection from family. They have to suffer from nonacceptance and absenteeism of a parent or both parent. The lie of moneymaking and labor was so perfectly sold to them and they veered off into the streets, in search of money, and the more money they get, it's never enough. You could see the desperation to prove a point to a child that doesn't know much of what money means.
So fathers became Uncles to their sons and mothers became Aunties. So nothing really worked and the money, they missed too, except for a few.
Look around, whose father isn't still working to feed the family today, when really he should be retired? Whose mother is retired yet? It's either they are still working or they are sick. And suddenly, old age becomes synonymous with sickness. This lie! Forgetting to live, they worked unto death.
Not so surprised, this generation has started off where they stopped. This time, worse. Work has become life for most people. The idea of family is very fast degenerating and this isn't healthy. We are eclipsing to when we will all become total strangers to each other and the only common thing that might bring us together will be what we will gain; business/work.
While I'm worried about this, I'm hopeful that intentional parenting will correct this anomaly. While it is good to create wealth, your family shouldn't have to suffer for it. A generation will have to change that infatuation for wealth yet existing to die and be buried.
We can't just work to die; your family should stay alive when you have gone too! Live for them, today!
