No return to innocence




With this, I don't want to insult anyone but I want to throw some light on the fact that kids, no matter of what age, have a mind of their own. They can be whatever they want to be- not only professionally but personally.
Why do we have to impose everything on them? They should also have a say of their own. I understand studying is important and having a passion is also important but why not let them do what they are passionate about? Why  should or shouldn’t they do what you think is right or wrong? Why??? 

Through this article I am not telling everyone about my life and neither am I taking out my frustration... OK...maybe frustration – yes; but because of the things I have been seeing lately.
A simple example: a mother and a daughter (not more than 14 years of age) are travelling in the metro, sitting on the old and physically challenged seat. An old lady is standing in front of them and the daughter wants to get up and offer the seat but her mother won't let her... Why? Just tell me why would you want to teach your kids this? And who would want to teach their kids this?
This is one such example there are many more... Again I don’t mean it as an insult to anybody and I know not everybody is the same. But there are those who don't realize that what happened to them shouldn't have to happen to others. 
This has to stop somewhere...
It is not just to pull a jibe at parents but also teachers, elder siblings and as many individuals who make an impact on children around them. All I expect from this article is that you help kids grow up into passionate human beings, who know the difference between good and bad and not just right and wrong. More importantly difference between being humans and robots.  
Please give it a thought.
