I have all too recently been reminded how important it is to raise empathists.
Too many kids are entitled.
Emboldened.
Obnoxious.
Self motivated.
With little, to no concern about those around them.
And the sad truth is, it's the parents fault.
All ours.
Not theirs.
Right now there is a generation raising another generation, of straight up unadulterated assholes.
And the only people we have to blame is ourselves.
We are entitling them to feel nothing.
Except themselves.
No consequences, no failure, no accountability, just pure gratification.
I heard a saying once, when you point a finger at someone and blame someone for something, just remember, the other four, are actually pointing at you.
And, quite frankly, it's true.
One day these same kids are going to be so horribly disappointed by life, because it is then they will see the world kisses no ones ass, least theirs.
All that compassion they lacked, remorse, and humbleness, will be repaid ten fold.
Karma is a bitch.
Remember to hold your kids accountable, because if you don't, life surely will, and it won't be pretty.
For anyone.
Xoxo,
C.
