To Be Alive Or Not To Be ?
Why would you shuffle off this mortal coil
When in this life there is so much to live for?
Like Yorrick ,when barely a huff of breath is left.
Surely when Hamlet said "To Be or Not to Be"
he was talking about life and death.
To be or not to be living or dying ,present or absent.
The wild energy of the teens if displaced can
cause major clefts in collective consciousness.
And what of lyrics within some songs?
Does any one read them? What do the lyrics say?
With youth's cocky confidence and intense self
conscience they have the will to move mountains.
Parents would be wise to instill love instead of
hate in their children while their soft skulls
are still developing.
So their brains can mature into adults instead of
forever being Peter Pans.
Do all human beings go through the rebellious teenage
years and how do different cultures deal with it?
How difficult it must be for both parents and teens
with the newfound growing hormones.
Yes, the motto should be..."May there be good thoughts
towards all fellow humans and all should promise never to
do living beings any harm."
I know it sounds a bit Buddhist,but wouldn't it be
good
if our kids were taught Not To cause any suffering?
