find some happiness that way

Children who grow up, who will one day become men, Do not forget to live, live the moment, One day you will not scare the boars, Nor to warthog, You will have to change to be happy, Animals have a sixth sense, Horses, donkeys, camels have a sixth sense, Chickens, cats, swallows, You’ll have to get up early, to understand, You’ll have to get up early to escape To escape the warthog, the snakes, Children who grow up, who become men, Man is a violent animal, Flee when he looks into yours, Flee when he puts his thoughts in yours, Flee like animals, like wild geese, Like boars, like warthogs, flee And you may find happiness.

'Live the moment'....Great advice to the children. This advice is equally applicable to grown ups. Some men are more dangerous than animals... so children should flee from them. Wish you a happy weekend, dear Yaan.

Keep away from violence, keep an eye out for trouble…flee it and you may find happiness…your style and imagery might get some young men to think.

Mankind is given to sin in all sense of the word. Thank God that Jesus took all that sin upon Him so that mankind can be freed of that sin if only they believe and then with His help start to change. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

When we live in a patriarchal world, man well some of the men take advantage of that.. life seemed so much more simple as a child..
