So much to say about children! With your wit and talent you have amazingly rendered it in a Monoku.. Children are the future of nations.. if I set an example of myself not teaching children as it is supposed to be I will damage a whole generation and thereby humanity.. Insightful as always dear Demetrios. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe and blessed.

Always a delight to read your profound comments dearest, Besma! It is so true that teachers, as they say, '' Affects eternity" Look at Socrates and Confucius, among so many other wise men, they still affect us and will affect future generations! I am certain you are a splendid teacher and your students profit a lot from your art of teaching! Thank you very much for your precious visit and comment!

L.M. Whatever I post, I repeat, whatever I Post is MINE and only mine! I never copy or quote other writers ,therefore my friend you should not doubt! Probably my education ( Ph. D in philosophy) and my teaching experience in life help write something worth while now and then!Lol! If ever I write something others have written be certain that it will be put within quotations. Hope this puts your mind at rest unless the question was on purpose! PS: I have written hundreds of those here, My 1956 posts will convince you, I hope...!

Absolutely, my friend , Tom! A child hurt or abused in any way is a crime against the future of humanity. Thank you!
