I pity today's youth.
The world has gotten ugly
Life is so much more complex
Time?...what is time?...no one seems to have any...
I was talking with my brother today, (who's got 3 years on me
)...he told me that his son (7) found an old photo album....not your ordinary photo album though......as kids, my brother and I were always drawing something...and when they came out half decent...they went into the "album"....dated and all....He started talking about our drawing sessions, those were the days that rained or snowed, the ones where we were stuck indoors. Our parents were poor so inside entertainment was very limited...but give us a pencil and a scrap of paper....(lined or not) and we'd fill it up, spend hours doing it. He would take a turn drawing a squiggly line on the sheet and I've have to turn it into something without using an eraser or filling it in with lead. It was called using your imagination.......now-adays, the only imagination kids put to use is imagining being home playing Playstation. In my opinioin, kids now-a-days are wasting their youth and they don't even realize it. What kind of memories are they going have? They finished Zelda in 2 weeks? They got all the hidden members in Tekken?....
It's a shame....and I feel for them. Lucky for them, they don't have anything to compare it to......until they hear the stories from our youth....
..if you have children, leave all the electronics at home and spend some reel
time with them -
