I confess I scanned the article, but this is a frequent topic of discussion in our house. Our society has SUCH an anti-child bias!
We were at a wedding this past Saturday and the officiant had the nerve to pray, in the concluding prayer, for the couple to have lots of children. I almost applauded. But then came the gasps, the nervous laughter, and twittering. Ugh!
The opposite of consumption is production. It takes far more time and energy to create something than to consume something. It takes a novelist a year to write a book that someone can read in a few days. A cast and crew of thousands spend years to create a film that will be viewed in two hours. Often our only recreational activities are actions of consumption. What an alternative it is, then, to rediscover the wonder and delight of creativity.~Albert Hsu
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." ~Jesus in John 10:10
