We build from themselves perfection.

We hide our flaws and deserving of punishment actions.

To criticize and ignore our fun features, bad habits, funny side of the children are not allowed.

We build from themselves perfection.

Under the threat of the highest offense protects the mystery of the ruling class, caste elected -. Introduction to the higher ordinances




Stripping shamelessly, and put in the pillory can only child.

We play with children with marked cards; weakness of childhood beat aces adult merits.

Rounders, we have manipulated the cards to the poorest children to oppose what in us is good and valuable.

Where are our Couch Potato and frivolous gourmet, gourmets, stupid, lazy, idlers, adventurers, unscrupulous men, swindlers, drunks and thieves?

Where are our violence and overt and covert crime?

How many squabbles, cunning, envy, slander, blackmail, words that maim, deeds that disgrace! How quiet family tragedies suffered by children, the first martyrs - victims of

! And we dare to accuse and consider them guilty ?!

But adult society carefully sifted and protsezheno.

How many human scum and debris blown gutter, absorbed graves, prisons and mad houses!

We tell senior respected, experienced, not discerning; and the guys there are closer to them bosses - teens, with their obsessive podgovarivaniem and pressure. Criminal and unbalanced guys roam without prizora and shove, pushing and being bullied, infect. And all the kids are jointly and severally liable for them (after all, and we, adults, sometimes barely gets them).

These few have outraged public opinion, standing out the bright spots on the surface of a child's life; this routine they dictate its methods:

keep children in obedience, though it oppresses,
a rod of iron, even though it hurts,
treat severe, which means roughly.

We do not allow children to organize themselves; neglecting, not trusting, disliking, we do not care about them; without the participation of experts, we do not handle; and experts - is the children themselves.

Are we so uncritical that affection which we pursue children express our location?

Do we not understand that, caressing the child, it is we accept his affection, hiding helplessly into his arms, looking for protection and shelter to the homeless clock pain derelict abandonment - term it the severity of suffering and sorrow?

Any other weasel - does not escape to the child and not prayers of hope - a criminal search and awakening in him sensations.

"I embrace, because I'm sad. Kiss, while the ladies. "

Selfishness, not location.
