Children or kidney?

As the last posts, we continue to be surprised by atrocities, things that we haven't even dreamt are really happening right now.
We definitely lost track of human kind when money and power overcame dignity, tolerance and the simple fact of being alive.
We decided to ignore everything to not loose a couple of bucks. Should everything be "an eye for an eye". Shouldn't we try to understand and listen, ask and give?

"I am helpless. Should I sell my children? Should I go sell my children? So, it's better I sell my kidney.
These are the words of a desperate man.
Mohammed Iqbal said he has been told by his landlord to pay up on debts and is left with a choice facing others in this impoverished corner of Pakistan: Sell your children or a kidney.
For Iqbal, there is only one option. Despite a law passed in late 2007 banning transplants for money, he has decided to sell his kidney and has already been for pre-operation tests. The sale will net him between $1,100 and $1,600.Iqbal was not alone in facing this difficult decision. Others opted to sell their kidneys. One of them was Rab Nawas, who was deep in debt about a year ago to his landlord after borrowing money to pay for his wedding and to cover medical bills for his wife and six children. He, too, faced the choice: sell his children, his wife or a kidney. I had to return the money," said Nawas, who now bears a foot-long scar that wraps around from his back to his belly and is too weak to work the same hours he could before."

Pakistan and children suicide bombing

What else now?!

In Pakistan, a Military group is buying and selling children for suicide bombings.
Some of the children are only 11. Once trained, the children are worth $6,000 to $12,000, Pakistani military officials said.

We pass from "dying for something" to make innocent children kill themselves for a very obscure reason to protect cowards.

Did we loose all the respect for life? If even a children became a instrument of insanity, it means we lost the faith for what represents us in the future.

This absurd act shows we don't care for what is coming. We just don’t care for nothing. We are lost souls in a planet we don't deserve.
The human kind is marching for what we call a beautiful death.

We’ve got to put an end to this!

Obligatory Morality class

As we observe our world evolve, we can watch critical changes happen on family values, education and morality.

When my parents were expecting their first child, my mother decided to stop working so she could take care of her child’s education, even with she having a college degree and a good job. She once told me she couldn’t stand having a babysitter spending more time with her baby than she did, because she thought it was extremely important to teach her kids everything she have learned, instead of having a “strange” that she had no idea of her past taking care of their education.
And that was something most families still used to do some years ago. At least here in Brazil.

Nowadays that’s nearly impossible. The life cost is way higher now. The public schools here are terrible and many are dangerous, what makes all the families that have a chance assign their kids on private schools. The public hospitals are very bad as well, what obligates them to have a private health care plan. Baby supplies are very expensive, as is food, and so on....
Most of the families now with a little child can’t afford to have one of the parents (the mother or the father) stop working to take care of the kids.

So we have now a lot of parents that don’t have time to spend with their children. The only time they have available is at night, when both are tired, and some on the weekends. A lot of kids are being educated by the internet, television, babysitters, teachers, friends, etc. The parents don’t have time to pass to their kids their own values, morals and educate them right, what is generating, to my eyes, a lot of problems.
We can notice a lot of young girls that don’t understand the real value of a sexual relation. Some people, after graduate at high school, don’t even try to get in a college or start working on something, and decide just to live at their parents expense with no ambition in life at all. Some people haven’t learn how wrong it is to “hurt” other people (not only physically), or to don’t pay for their mistakes. And things like that.

Thinking about how important family values and morality have been to society, I don’t know why they haven’t created yet an obligatory class for all the school and college levels, with a representative number of hours, for teaching those subjects: family values and morality. That would exist to assume the role many parents aren’t being capable of assuming. The teacher should be a psychologist or psychopedagogist able to create a bond with all the students, to talk to them, to teach the importance of doing the right, of being right, of fighting for the right. Nothing theoretical, but like a group counseling. Not linked to any kind of religion at all, just showing how to be a better person and things that, in the future, will make a difference to the kids. If it’s rightly done, it would be the solution of many problems in the world.
