Deep dives
The importance of caring about the world beyond our immediate family
As parents, it is crucial that we shift our focus from our own family's concerns to the larger issues of the world. While we engage in daily conversations about trivial matters within our households, we often neglect the suffering and injustice that exist beyond our front doors. We must actively prioritize caring about societal problems, and encourage our children to do the same. It is essential to address topics such as unfair treatment by the police and systemic issues. By making injustice a regular topic of conversation in our homes, we can raise awareness and take action to make a positive difference in the world.
The need to actively engage in discussions about injustice as parents
Instead of being consumed by mundane tasks like keeping the house clean or focusing solely on our children's academic success, we must devote time and energy to discussing and challenging the injustices present in society. By actively engaging in conversations about social issues, we can examine our own contributions to the problem and explore how we can make a positive impact. It is our responsibility to ensure that our children understand the importance of justice, and to foster a sense of empathy and activism within our families. By starting these discussions at home, we can cultivate a generation of compassionate and socially aware individuals.
