First off, gorgeous images, @violetmed! Thank you, for sharing this Beauty. Interesting balancing act to pair it with the unfortunate subject of inattention/anger of children in our classrooms...
I, too, adore children (and have 19 nieces and nephews) so very curious to learn what you consider to be behind this change of behavior. Meantime, I have my own theories.
I think their lack of attention is due partly to a lack of attention paid to the children, by busy or inattentive or stressed parents.
This is part of it. Another related part is the exposure to machines and all the unprocessed, deluge of information and distraction that they emit.
As a writer, for example, I've noticed that due to our shortened attention spans we are reading and thinking, differently, less profoundly/critically.
Lastly, I regret to say that I believe there is a Violence in the air, that the children --pure and sensitive vessels that they are--- are picking up on. Children, as you know, learn from adults not what they say, but what they do.
Living in Florida and witnessing coverage of latest high school shooting, I can't help but think that there is a kind of spiritual malady in our society and we are infecting the children -- who are taking the 'war' to schools.
I hope I've not strayed too far off topic and that you don't mind this extended response (nor regard it as a rant). Thanks, for raising this important topic and, once again, for reminding us of the great Beauty that is synonymous with our existence --if only we take the time to see it...
Peace, all ways, Yahia
Thank you so much @yahialababidi for reading my post and your stating your thoughts on the subject! I agree with several of your ideas on what is possibly behind these behavior problems. I also think that the young people that have gone into these schools and shot and killed teachers and students are products of being raised differently these days. Stay tuned for my second post on this subject.
I'll try to be on the lookout for it, @violetmed. Also, thought to let you know that your post got me musing and, by association, I came up with this post which might also be of some interest to you:
What if we consider America’s gun problem as a spiritual disease?
Peace & Love,
Yahia
