How I loathe the explanation/acceptance of so many ills as simply being “Just the way things are now!”, or “We just need to get used to change!” Our civilization is crumbling around us in a million ways, right before our eyes, and there are some (many?) who just go along with it, as if the ‘changes’ are benign.

I don’t blame Johnny for not thinking. He’s seven years old. His parent/s deserve the blame.

Agreed. Unfortunately, he's not being told that from the start and if he's lucky can find out the hard way by 25 years old.

Yes but some that couldn’t read nor write have done good deeds it’s a matter of self awareness and the paths to take.

Time must be taken to teach the child to survive.
