It is clear you cannot give what you do not have, so I think we must make it a point to work on being excellent humans, to strive for values with excellence. (Unsplash/Vivek Kumar)
One morning during the first week of the COVID-19 lockdown, I went for a stroll in my neighborhood and met two teenage girls at their gate. I greeted them. It stunned me that the girls remained unresponsive and just stared at me. I thought neither of them had heard me, so I greeted them a second time and there was still silence.
Rather than getting annoyed with the children, I sympathized with their parents and any parent rearing a teenaged child! I am still searching for the answer to the question, When did children stop being children?
