Child-rearing today was so complicated. You always had to think of what they'd say on television later.
by Orson Scott Card
(0 Reviews)

In today's world, raising children has become increasingly complex due to the pervasive influence of media and societal expectations. Parents often find themselves second-guessing their decisions, concerned about how events from daily life may be interpreted or portrayed in the media later on. This complicates the parent-child dynamic, as caregivers strive to maintain ethics while navigating external pressures.

Moreover, the challenge lies not just in the immediate environment but also in the long-term impact of these decisions on children's perceptions and values. Television has the power to shape narratives, and as such, parents are mindful of the implications of their parenting choices, aware that these moments can resurface in conversations or public scrutiny. It underscores the intricate balance between nurturing kids and allowing them the freedom to grow in an increasingly connected world.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
