It' funny, we teach our kids to be respectful, to wait their turn and to work hard ...There are moments I have to wonder - WHY ??? Why bother teaching our children values that are based on respect, care and so forth?? Why not encourage the to embrace the ethos of the market - sieze the moment, take whatever is your, don't worry about anyone else, and do it for yourself cause no one else will look out for you ...
I wonder why it is that we are surprised when execs are caught with their hand in the cookies jar ... we fail to express our appreciation for a job well done ... and then our outraged when folks help themselves, or seek bigger and bigger rewards ... We can't have it both ways can we??
Either we teach our children respectful and caring attitudes, and treat others accordingly, or our world will continue to spiral into oblivion ... I fear that it is a lesson we might be too long in realizing ... I hope not though, but tonight I'm not so sure ...
