Well, I am back in Melbourne once again. The summer was a blast and I am glad I took the time to travel north, visit some new places, learn new things and make new friends!
I have recently been thinking about conditioning of children and the cruel re-conditioning of children approaching adulthood. Such as.......
Isn't it sad that we are trained to take naps during the day, take 2 1/2 months off a year for summer vacation, must incorporate playtime into our daily lives and learn something new everyday when we are young and then we get to a magical number, 18 (for many of us), then we are driven into a life where you punch a time card from 8 to 5 (if you are really lucky today, you only have one job only working 40 hrs. a week instead of two jobs working 50 or more hrs. a week) with an hour for lunch (nixing the nap altogether), in many workplaces you must be employed for 2 years before you even get a 2-week vacation, and the only play that adults want to engage in seem to require expensive motorized toys that do all the physical work.
Well....I have a lot on my mind these days but they are not worth mentioning. I will just sign off for now!!!
