Several principles are implied here in relation to producing well-balanced, socially integrated kids through education. One of the central elements is humility, being the foundation of courtesy, cooperation, tolerance and harmony in all forms of communion. It should go without saying that these principles will only be adopted if the one propounding them is also embodying them. T he Buddha's teaching, certainly as I encounter it, both as a doctrine and a lifestyle, turns around modesty. Somehow these seem to be the values I encounter when I read a magazine or billboard or watch television.
Advertising now offers the product as itself, plus.
I am led to believe that life as it is, here, normal, right now, can't be satisfactory as surely, somewhere else, it's on special. A simple, modest, regulated lifestyle is an excellent place to start stopping. A piece of your life, no matter how small, if given unconditionally is worth any number of new toys, violin lessons, sweets, etc. Although it is your time given that gets the money that gets the toys, children have no real appreciation of this equation. Gently massage the face, the neck muscles, the scalp.
