We are born for a reason

We are born for a reason

We are born for a reason. The angst and the mystery is that we may never know the reason.

Imagine that if, instead of teaching children that they are special, and in so doing, baking in elements of narcissism and superiority, we teach children that their unique gifts, combined with their all-of-life experience, dark and light, are towards a contribution to the health, or disintegration, of the whole.

That they matter. Not as discrete individuals, but as part of the whole.
