Family together - Free Living, Homeschooling, Unschooling

When you know that what is on offer, is not what you want, then do you still buy?

- for the sake of convenience
- for lack of options
- actually realising that child rearing is best left to others
- myriad other reasons, double income being a prime one

This is an area where we will write occasionally about what we actually do with our kids. It should assist those, who are not parents yet and are considering children and are also appalled with the school system and the world that they themselves inhabit and still want to bring in additional lives. Again for a myriad reasons. One of them being "Pitru Seva" or ensuring that the clan/ tribe/ family/ country/ religion continues.

In olden times, these reasons could possibly be understood. But in this new age, why follow the old ways? We say the world is a village, then why cannot we serve the children, irrespective of paternal lineages or maternal lineages?

Why must we possess? Why must we have our own children? Why must we spend so much on one child when there are so many others who are left bereft of all the basic things? Why must we marry and have our own spouse? Is this also then, not the case of the tail wagging the dog?

A world gone insane..................... and we have the gall to wonder why?

A world that has enough food for all.............but where millions go hungry?

A world desperately in need of planning...........but where only corporate planning takes place with the sole objective of plundering, and creating even more disparity.
