I'm trying to teach mine now.
To be happy with himself and to do with less. That it's all a shiny illusion and a trap. And to not buy into it.
We had this talk last week again, in fact. Freedom and time together or the bucks.
It's still hard going with all the greed and consumerism still being toted as success though...
I sometimes wonder if the "do with less" is part of the programming getting us used to continually being crushed.
