Who are we to know what’s right?
Even as adults we’re still trying to figure out our own life.
Get ready for the new kids.
They’ll rise, they’ll fall.
No matter what, they’ll find their way through it all.
– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Poem, 5/31/19 –
Every older generation seems to criticize the younger ones. We can guide the younger generations in a positive way, but in the end, the children will choose their own destiny by trying, failing, & succeeding on their interests & passions.
We control our own destiny & influence those coming up. The children are our future. They learn by observing us adults. If we yell & scream all the time, they’ll become adults yelling & screaming at their family & at people at work, maybe even at strangers in the public. Peace starts with us, & it continues with the legacy we leave behind by those who were influenced by us. Let’s choose kindness, love, empathy & compassion to make our world more peaceful!
With Warmest Aloha,
Jon
