the spark won't die out
a common gripe - so much to do, so little time. it's always the same old story - busy, tired, lazy, no energy, and a host of other excuses we comfort ourselves with. but to a very large extent, it's all valid, isn't it?
these past three months i've been trying to look at things from the perspectives of 14 and 15 year olds, and i'd like to think that i'm doing a more than decent job so far. somehow, i look at them with envy - ignorance is bliss. yet i feel sympathetic to their lack of awareness of what's going on around them. i am dismayed at how many of us underestimate these kids, and at the same time, ashamed of how little we share with them. perhaps, the spark in me is still going strong, and i hope to keep it that way for a very long time.
