Perception

Perception

: the way you think about or understand someone or something

If you give 10 people the same picture of a person, a landscape or even a book, your are very likely to get 10 different perspectives. This is because we were all given individuals minds and thought processes at birth. So why then do we expect our children to all behave, think and react to situations the same? Our future lies in these little hands and their minds. The thing that scares me the most is what we are doing to their little hearts. Are they seeing enough compassion? Do they witness human kind at its best? Do they know what it is to love unconditionally? Of course they do from the start, they come from pure love after all, for God is pure love. It is the years ahead that will turn them away from that love if we do not do something different in our society. There has to be a change in what is sent out. Children learn from what they see, what is put before them on a daily basis. If they perceive hate, mistreatment of living things and the destruction of our Earth as normal, what hope do we have? I think adults should always be accountable to the children. They are always watching and learning from us. Not just in our homes. We cannot deny the garbage that is on television, video games and movies daily. Just an hour of news is frightening! So we humans, borrowers of the Earth, it is time to look at the eyes of the child before you. Look deep and ask yourself, is there light there? Is there promise of a better time? What they see in us is their PERCEPTION of the world…
