Where are we Going I

If with every generation we pursue the desire that our offspring have the opportunity for a greater life, is not the result a greater ignorance of what sustains us? How many people do you know who do not know how the beef gets under the cellophane and onto the Styrofoam on the meat counter at the market? As well as providing our children with a college education, are we not also providing them with a level of basic ignorance? My answer is yes, having been the one called to “assist” with simple tasks such as setting up audiovisual systems or adding lights to the yard.

How many flakes of hay/alfalfa does it take to feed a dairy cow each day to ensure milk production? If you don’t know perhaps you’ve evolved too far and your children are doomed to a service life with no knowledge of how they exist.

I end with the question… If we have guided our children on how to survive in today’s world with the hope that it will make them successful in tomorrow’s world, have we failed to remind them of yesterday’s (and today’s hidden) realities?
