Thought for today:
"I know nothing of hatred, intolerance, ageism, racism, sexism, bigotry, indoctrination, homophobia and prejudice. I don't yet understand things like love, compassion, integrity, tolerance, human decency and truth. I know nothing of these things yet because I am still an infant in my mother's arms. For the most important formative years of my life, all I will know is what mum, dad and you will teach me.The only knowledge that I'll possess is what you all give me. It is you that I depend on to pave my way. Teach me the true Christmas message. Teach me things that will make the world a better place and not a worse one to live in. Teach me childlike things that I can take into my adult life as models of learning to pass on to my own children.Teach me to love my neighbour as myself. Mum and Dad, teach me all such things wholesome and you will have taught me all I need to get by in life. Teach me the true meaning of the Christmas story. Please....please teach me well."
