Growing young people
What a privilege in life if you get the chance.
The chance is usually parenthood. Now
there are other chances, too. Like being a scout leader, or a Marine leader, or
a religious leader, or a teacher. Now I am sure there are other examples and
chances, too; but what I have written about is all I know about.
The appealing idea is to influence
young people as they grow up and decide on their own standards. Eventually, one
does have to "let go" as they make up their own mind. Said another way, the window of opportunity
is not unlimited. This idea applies
especially when young people might seek you out for your own opinion.
Even sometimes they might even contact
you to say something like "thank you".
In the end, we, and they, are all on our own; and on this is faith in
our future.
