The trouble is, they say, that the systems are at fault; the government is corrupt and disinterested, bloated with officials who are just serving their own self interest, enriching themselves and those closest – loyal – to them; that party politics should not be a part of local government; that the opposition caters to a middle-class elite and is weak.
I call that a victim mentality: and while adults choose to succumb to this way of thinking, our Nation’s children – the world’s children – become victims of greed and stupidity and cowardice!
How cold is the heart that doesn’t feel joy at the sound of a child’s unbridled laughter? How cold is the heart that is not moved to tears at the sound of a child’s anguished cry? How much love can you show to those closest to you when you have no love for a stranger: when your heart is filled with hatred and prejudice? How cold is your heart?
True beauty exists in a child’s smile; true love is when you can open your heart to a child you never met before, a child whom you will never see again: someone else’s child who for the briefest moment is as important as your own – is your own!
Until such time, you have neither loved nor experienced beauty!
