DAY 8 – PEOPLE REALLY TURN OUT OKAY (MOST OF THE TIME)

As a soon to be parent for the first time I found a video that discussed different ways parents raise their children. There are some parents who are very demanding and others less so. Some are very affectionate and others not so much. Some yelled a lot and others never did. Some are very religious and others do not believe in any religion. Some are liberal with their economic, societal and political beliefs while others have a conservative bent.

Yet with all of the various parental styles and beliefs that children get exposed to while growing up most young people turn into adults who go about their daily affairs in similar fashion. People date, most eventually get married and many have children. People everywhere go shopping and engage in activities that they enjoy. To do all of this people all over the earth go to work to get money in order to pay for the things that they do and have.

While carrying out what we do human beings act politely and courteously. We say please, thank you and you’re welcome. When problems arise for those closest to us we try to help resolve their difficulties. When someone we know needs a helping hand we often will rise to the occasion. When a disaster happens we feel compassion for those affected and many without hesitation will strive to help uplift them out of their catastrophic situation. Human beings may not show this good and decent side in every single instance but we do it more often than not.

By the time I finished watching this video that showed the beneficial and detrimental aspects of how parents raise their children, I now realize that people in most situations really turn out okay.
