I've had an interesting day; cleaned my bathroom (preparing to paint and tile) and I watched something interesting on the tele. The DiscoveryTimes channel played two of journalist Sorious Samura's documetaries onAfrica today. One on famine in Ethiopia and the other on Sudan. Both were good programs illuminating some of the issues facing certain countries in Africa.
Today Iwanted to talk about children and the sins many people commit against them. I find it funny that we as a society pay more attention on our pets (for an example look at Showdog Moms and Dads on Bravo) than our kids. Over the weekend my cousin came over to clear the brush off our back gate when a nest fell. We (me and my cousin) then spent the next few hours watching as birds looked for their chicks which fell on the ground. They called out and they called for other birds to help look and they even fended off others from the ground. It was something to see. But none of us would to this for our children. When we see a child in what can be called a questionable situation we let it slide. When we see a parent go beyond the boundaries we look but keep going. And even as parents we move to quick; to cut them down or give preferential treatment. This was all said to say be good the kids.
