Why do people obsess so much about what is going on outside their front door when the real determining factor is what is going on inside theirs.If parents love their children and protect them with boundaries and precepts the whole world outside can go to hell in a handbasket and they will be immune,in a virtuous bubble,un buffeted by the cold winds of unreason arbitrary whim and the vicissitudes of fate.They won't have to worry about the corrupting influence of television because they will have control of the off button.They will police the internet and put on it the proper checks and bars.They will monitor all of their children's influences,mobile phones,the lot.They won't have to worry about going to the supermarket and whether or not their child will create a scene and demand sweets,nor will they complain that the shops cynically target their children by placing the sweets in a strategic child level position.
They will not have to worry about their children falling into drug addiction or prey to sex fiends because they will teach them to avoid such predators. This may involve a visit to the local morgue to show their children what may await a fall into narcotic or alcohol abuse.They will have no one to blame if their children are beyond their control but themselves.Having learned to control themselves their children will love them,not resent them and welcome their attentive vigilance over their interests and know that such light touch protection is love.
