There are some decent people in there -- they either have chosen bad models or they rejected the models they had and therefore don't have any model at all, which usually causes a lot of free-floating beer-inhalation. My experience with a number of the young people I've met in the Rock History class suggests to me that a lot of these kids are really lost. They've been taught that the only acceptable goal is to get a job that will make them 6 figures, and they've been given a whole bunch of toys to reinforce the desirability of that goal, but they don't know what to do with either their hearts or the inside of their heads. <BR/> <BR/>The other thing they need, which I don't think they ever get, is approval for the right things. They tend to get ignored when they act like humans, discouraged when they show some sensitivity, and yelled at and threatened when they behave badly, which then becomes increasingly frequent. I myself have been guiIty of this - I didn't go over there at any point when they were behaving like good citizens and say "Gee, your yard looks great since you cleaned it up. Thanks for being quiet lately." So I am inadvertently adding to this syndrome. I often wish I could actually get to know them a little bit, to find out what's actually inside the brain (and the heart.)Dharmoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579084806029067592noreply@blogger.com
