There are so many negative things that influence kids these days that I sometimes feel very sorry for both children and parents.
Who would think with so many modern conveniences and advanced technology that life would be more difficult than ever?
I think that in many ways, technology isn’t so much ‘progress’, but a trading-off.
We have antibiotics and light-bulbs and amazing communication systems now; but many of us have lost family life and community. We can kill one another in wars now, with greater efficiency and in greater numbers; and our ‘communications’ technology can be used against us by interests that don’t have OUR real interests at heart.
It’s always a trade-off; and we have to evolve spiritually in order to make it more ‘good’ than ‘bad’.
