Driving School 101

“While teaching my son the basic fundamentals on driving I became aware; aware of how as a parent we want security and stability for our children but live recklessly, without care for our future and our dreams. For example, approaching a red light I stated to my son, “The quickest way to death is running red lights”, hoping to create a consciousness in his sub- consciousness. But in turn it created one in mine. I began to ponder; how many red lights have I ran for the sake of being late. Do I expect more from him than I expect from myself, how I can require for him to follow the rules when I so blatantly disregard them? Do we offer excuses on why there was an exception at the time when we did it? This can also be said for dreaming. As parents we root for our children to become great; to do their best and have outstanding morals, while we sit in the complacency of a stable income and robbing peter to pay paul. When you run red lights your child sees there's a chance you may not die. When you are working solely to pay bills and is not happy in what you do or what you offer they also see that there’s a chance that they are also willing to take.”
